HERCULES

Narrator:
Long ago, in the ancient land of Greece, there was a golden age of powerful gods and extraordinary heroes. And the greatest and strongest of all these heroes was the mighty Hercules.
Hercules was the son of Zeus, the most powerful God. Zeus fell in love with a beautiful woman named Alcmene. Alcmene's husband was away for a while. Zeus made Alcmene pregnant.
Alcmene: (beside the river washing clothes) (thunder effect)
(Zeus came) (light effects and thunder sound)
This made Hera so angry. Since Zeus was not a good husband to his wife. She tried to prevent the baby from being born.

[2nd SCENE] (Alcmene gave birth): baling hilak ni jhocy..

Scully(midwife): Its a boy!!!
Jhocy: Give him to me, I'll name him Hercules.

(The name Hercules means glorious gift of Hera in Greek. And that made Hera more angry. She plotted schemes to kill the baby.)

[3rd SCENE]
(Setting: Crib, Snake thingy.)
Hera remained angry. How could she get even? Hera knew that she would lose in a fight, and that she wasn't powerful enough to prevent Zeus from having his way.

Hera: I'll make his life miserable. I’ll pay Zeus back for his infidelity, I'll make Hercules' life miserable.

[4th SCENE]
When Hercules grew up, he became a very strong warrior. He married Megara and they had a happy family. (music)
But Hera continued to seek revenge. She disguised herself as a mortal and planned to ruin the happy marriage.

Hera: Is this the land where the famous hero named Hercules lived?
Megara: Yes, Why do you ask?
Hera: I know him. We met and he told me to run away with him. He promised his love to me and I am here to fulfill that promise.
Hera: (shocked) dalagan pauli.

[5th SCENE]
(ga hilak si nikki. ni duol si dyle)
Hercules: Megara what’s wrong?
Megara: YOU BETRAYED ME!
Hercules: What are you saying?
Megara: I met a woman when I was in the market, she told me everything. EVERYTHING BETWEEN YOU AND HER!!!
Hercules: (confused) I don't

    Hercules’ father, Zeus, was always known as the greatest of the gods and Zeus was very proud of him. However, he was usually unable to aid his son due to his marriage to Hera, the queen of the gods, and her jealousy. His mother, Alcmene, was said to be the wisest mortal woman to ever live and also the most loyal in partnership to her husband. After she was tricked by Zeus (who was disguised as her husband) to lay with him, she became pregnant with Hercules. She was cursed with difficult childbirth by Hera and never was able to escape the goddess’s hate, though Hercules’ conception was not her fault. In her death, she was buried with Hercules’ wife and children though there was initially a debate about where she should be laid to rest. Both men’s sets of parents were nearly non-existent and shrouded in misfortune.…

    Hercules is the Roman name for the Greek hero Herakles, the most popular figure from ancient Greek mythology. Hercules was the son of Zeus, king of the gods, and the mortal woman Alcmene. Zeus, who was always chasing one woman or another, took on the form of Alcmene's husband, Amphitryon, and visited Alcmene one night in her bed, and so Hercules was born a demi-god with incredible strength and stamina. He performed amazing feats, including wrestling death and traveling twice to the underworld, and his stories were told throughout Greece and later in Rome, yet his life was far from easy from the moment of his birth, and his relationships with others were often disastrous. This was because Hera, the wife of Zeus, knew that Hercules was her husband's illegitimate son and sought to destroy him.…

This only proved Hera’s intelligence when she was schemed her attacks against these mortal women.Subconsciously, she always knew of Zeus’ deceptiveness, but she never let him know of her cleverness. Dan Nardo, author of Greek Mythology Online, explains, “Hera often showed she was capable of taking care of herself”(Nardo 97).

    First, however, I would like to start by giving a little bit of background information on the hero known as Hercules. Hercules was born as the son of Zeus and a beautiful mortal woman named Alcmene, in the Greek city of Thebes. Due to his father’s divinity, Hercules was given the gift of extraordinary physical strength and courage. From the beginning, the events of his life were shaped by the wrath of the goddess Hera, who scorned the boy that was a reminder of her husband’s infidelity. As he matured he faced countless tasks and hardships, but through his victories he forever glorified himself in ancient literature. The stories of Hercules had quite a large impact on the early Greeks. Some, such as the ancient Spartans, believed they were descendants of the great hero and strived to be like him on the battlefield and in the gymnasium. Elsewhere, in Thebes, the Cult of Heracles was a religious group that was created which worshiped him as the divine protector of man. The cult constructed many shrines throughout the ancient world and even held festivals in his honor every year (theoi.com). Later on, the…
