Legend Post

My favorite legend would probably be the Incidental Adventures of Hercules. Mostly because of the movie Hercules, because it's a really cute movie. I loved that movie ever since I was a little kid, and I still do right now. I'm exactly sure why I love it, but I really like the story. Hercules is strong and skilled, and fair in all his challenges that I've read about. It's said that he's fair in all his challenges and never uses unfair tricks to his advantage. The story of Hercules is also quite interesting because he's a demigod. The story of how Zeus had an affair with Alcmene, and Hera was really mad when she found out. Yet, Zeus placed Hercules in Hera's arms and she raised him. Hera still had a grudge against Hercules so she sent him on a blind frenzy. He killed all of his children and his wife. When he finally came back to sanity he went to the Oracles of Delphi to make amends. The Oracles ordered Hercules to serve Eurystheus, and he sent Hercules on a series of tasks.
