Part 2/9:
From the outset, Hercules's life is defined by his divine heritage. Hera, the queen of the gods and Zeus's wife, considers Hercules a threat to her honor. She attempts to eliminate him as an infant, sending poisonous snakes to kill him. However, Hercules's remarkable strength allows him to survive these initial trials, setting the stage for his future endeavors.
As Hercules matures, he embarks on a series of missions known as the Twelve Labors, each presenting him with monstrous challenges. These include formidable creatures such as the Hydra, the Nemean Lion, and the Calydonian Boar. While his legendary feats are well-known, the movie portrays him in a darker light as he battles both physical foes and haunting memories of personal loss.
