They’re both the same. I rest my case. 😋
Hercules: Meg...? I would never... EVER... hurt you.
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that Herc. Don't make promises you can't keep.
While Disney's Hercules would never hurt the girl of his dreams, the guy he was based on certainly would. In the original myth, Hera was hell-bent on making Heracles rue the day his father cheated on her (because somehow, that was his fault). And to get revenge, she cursed the hero with such insane rage that he actually killed his wife Megara and their children.
The poet Seneca said that Hercules grabbed one son by the arm and swung him about like a ball and chain, smashing him to a bloody pulp. Then he shot his other son with an arrow and crushed Megara's head with his club. Apollodorus claims that he threw Megara, their two sons and his nephews into a burning fire. But the darkest and saddest one has to be by Euripides who wrote a passage where Hercules' son begs for his life before being pierced by one of his father's arrows.
As grizzly as this is though, I've gotta admit, after learning about what happened in the original Greek myth, it's a wee bit funny to me that in the Disney movie he literally says that he would never hurt Meg...
Hey my lovely’s, I made something amazing!!!!
It’s a link to a hunger games simulator, but with DISNEY PRINCESSES and Princes as the tributes lol. So that’s really fun, and an exciting way to ruin your childhood. 👌🏻 And I had fun making it!
