Who was the greatest god in ancient Greece?

Hercules is the greatest hero in ancient Greece. He embodies the strength and wisdom of human beings to conquer nature and the excellent qualities of ancient Greeks such as diligence, courage and wit.

Hercules is the son of Zeus and alcmene, and alcmene is the granddaughter of married Poerxiusi. Zeus made love to alcmene in the image of alcmene's husband Amphitryon. In order to prolong his pleasure, Zeus extended one night to three nights. The next day, when the real Amphitryon came back, alcmene was puzzled. The couple learned from the blind prophet tiresias that Zeus was a ghost.

Nine months later, alcmene gave birth to twins-Hercules and Evy Cox. In order to make Hercules, the first born, become the most powerful person and eventually become a god, Zeus deceived Hera to breastfeed her newborn, making Heracles become an immortal god after drinking her milk. The strong baby sucked hard, which made Hera feel a sharp pain when she pulled out her nipple, and some milk was scattered into the sky-later it became a galaxy in the sky. Afterwards, Hera was very angry when she learned that the bitten baby was Zeus' illegitimate child, and she became Hercules' greatest enemy in his later years.

When Hercules was still in the cradle, Hera launched the initial attack on him. She sent two poisonous snakes into her twin brother's bedroom and tried to kill Hercules while he was sleeping. But this young hero showed his strength at this moment. When his parents rushed in in panic, they found that the baby had trampled two poisonous snakes to death. Later, Hera never killed him directly, but punished him in a more cunning way.

Hercules had a happy childhood, and most of the time he was safe. He grew up slowly and began to learn bows and arrows, practice gladiatorial and boxing; No, Hercules is like this. He also learned to play the piano and sing. But he had a bad temper and soon got into trouble because of his strength. Once, the music teacher hit him when he was not studying hard, which annoyed him, so he also punched the teacher and killed him on the spot. Although he was acquitted, he was forced to leave home and was sent to Mount Kiselon to graze. On the mountain, his first real challenge was to kill a fierce lion. After he killed the lion with an olive branch, he peeled off the lion's skin and put it on his body like a cloak. Later, branches and lion skins draped over shoulders became the famous symbols of Hercules.

On his way back to Thebes, Hercules met a mission in Ochamnos. Hercules asked them where they were going. They replied that they would ask Thebes to pay tribute to their ruler, King Minigne, every year. These people explained that they got the annual tribute because Thebes thanked the Mininiers for not cutting their hands, ears and noses into pieces. Hercules was very angry when he heard this, so he dealt with them as they just described. The result will inevitably lead to war between the two countries. Hercules led Thebes to conquer Minigne and killed the arrogant king. After returning to Thebes, he became a hero, and the king of Thebes betrothed his daughter Princess Mesala to him as a reward.

Hercules began the happiest life. He and his wife had three children and lived a quiet and peaceful life. He even fantasized that one day he would inherit the throne of Thebes. However, Hera did not forget the resentment in her heart. She drove Hercules insane, and then drove Hercules crazy and killed her son. Megara, who heard the news, also died sadly.

When Hercules woke up and realized what he had done, he simply didn't want to live any more. Later, he decided to go to Delphi and ask Apollo if there was any way to atone for his terrible crime. The Oracle gave him a clear direction: he had to leave Tirins to serve Eurystheus in Mycenae; And he had to stay and work there for a long time and obey the orders of Eurythius Hughes. If he can do it correctly, he will become an immortal god in the future. Hercules, eager to atone, accepted it without hesitation.

Euripides Hughes did not welcome this newcomer with royal blood, because his father Amphitryon was the king of Mycenae, but he was deposed after accidentally killing a relative. Eurystheus felt that he was facing a competitor. But he soon found that he could get rid of this potential opponent by taking advantage of the opportunity that Hercules had to come here to atone. The frightened king thought and thought, racking his brains, and finally an idea flashed into his mind: Nimion Leon.

This lion is so terrible that no weapon can hurt it. People in northern Mycenae are very afraid of it. Hercules kept shooting arrows at it when he followed it, but the arrow bounced back as soon as it shot past. Then he picked up a stick and attacked it, but it didn't hurt it, but hid in the hole. So Hercules ran into the cave and fought the lion with his bare hands. Finally Hercules killed the lion, took off the skin with the lion's own claws, and then took off the old skin and put it on this new one. Eurythius was not at all happy to see Hercules return safely. He realized with horror that it must be easy for a man who can kill such a fierce lion to kill himself, so he built a huge brass jar, which he could hide in if Hercules broke into the palace to deal with him. Thinking of this, he safely summoned the hero who made him timid.

The second task entrusted by Eurydice Hughes to Hercules was to kill Xu Dela, a nine-headed water snake, at the mouth of Argos Bay, 50 kilometers south of Mycenae.

Hercules asked the son of Iphickles, Rolls, to go with him as an assistant. In Lehrner, he carefully crossed the swamp and came to the cave where Xu Dela lived. With the help of Athena, the goddess, he burned the arrows red, shot them one by one in the caves in Xu Dela, and then hit the monsters on the head one by one with a mallet. However, after he successfully knocked off its head, the monster gave birth to two new heads in its original place. To make matters worse, Xu Dela attracted a terrible crab, which clamped Hercules' foot with its claws.

At this moment, the hero called Olaus, and he asked Olaus to hand him a fire. He burned Xu Dela's neck cavity with this burning trunk, so that Xu Dela could never grow a new head. Hercules succeeded. He hit Xu Dela's body in the middle. Athena warned him that Xu Dela was immortal. So Hercules cut it down with a knife and held it down with a huge stone. Before he left, he soaked all the arrows in Xu Dela's poisonous bile, and people who were injured by Hercules' arrows could not be cured.

Eurydice Hughes expressed contempt for Hercules' success because he laughed at Hercules for taking Olaus to help him. Then, he gave another task, catching roe deer on Ccrynelan, a beautiful animal, Jinjiao's bronze hoof. This task mainly tests the agility of Hercules' legs. It took Hercules a whole year to finally catch it and bring it back to Mycenae.

The fourth task was issued soon, and Hercules had to capture the wild boar in Mount Hermantos alive and bring it back to Mycenae. Hercules found the wild boar in the snow, caught it and brought it back to Eurythius Hughes.

King Eurydice Hughes gave the fifth task. The task is to go to the Kingdom of Elis to clean the cowshed for its ruler Augeas. He has a large number of livestock, and his cowshed is not cleaned all the year round. The task given to Hercules this time is to thoroughly clean up the cow dung accumulated for many years in one day.

Before carrying out the task, Hercules first found Ogias and asked him to take out one tenth of the livestock as a reward after completing the task. The king agreed. Hercules dug loose the foundation on one side of the cowshed, and led the river water through a canal to flow through the cowshed and wash away the feces inside. When he washed the cow dung clean, he asked the king to pay him the reward agreed in advance. But Ogias refused to honor his promise on the grounds that the cowshed was washed away by the river. Because of this rude neglect, Hercules kept these firmly in mind.

As soon as he returned to Mycenae, the sixth task was given to him. In the swamp of Lake Sting fallows, there is a strange bird with iron wings, iron mouth and iron claws, which is very fierce. They often peck human flesh with their iron mouths. Euripides Hughes asked him to get rid of this strange bird. In order to drive away these strange birds, he used a huge copper racket forged by the god Hephaestus himself. The sound of the racket waving was terrible, and the birds couldn't stand the stimulation, so they ran away and flew out of the Woods. Hercules finally saw the opportunity. He bent his bow and took an arrow and shot it out with a whoosh. The strange bird fell.

Hercules successfully completed the task again, but this time Eurys Hughes decided to arrange him to go to a more distant place in the seventh mission. At that time, Crete was suffering from the plague brought by white cattle drifting from the sea. Heracles's task is to clear the plague on the island and bring the bull back. Hercules got the bull back as easy as blowing off dust. When Eurystheus saw the bull, he ran into the palace and jumped into the huge jar. He ordered Hercules to release the bull quickly.

Eurystheus later tried his best to find a suitable opportunity in the central Greek islands. He sent the hero to Thrace on the northern shore of the Aegean Sea to complete his eighth mission. King Diomedes of Thrace had four mares who ate human flesh. Hercules' task is to tame these terrible mares.

In order to gain the strength to help complete the task, Hercules went with several warriors. As soon as the ship approached the Thrace coast, they immediately went ashore and ran to the stable of the palace to deal with the groom quickly. But the groom's screams alarmed the people around him. When they drove the horse to the boat, the king led a group of people to drive it out.

Hercules had a brainwave and hurried the horse to the top of a mountain to be taken care of by one of his companions, Pellereau. Then, he and others rushed to the seawall, dug a ditch there, and suddenly the sea surged in. People in diomedes fled back in despair. Hercules grabbed the king, held him on his head and returned to the top of the mountain, but when he approached, he was stunned by what he saw. It turned out that when the sea was rough, several horses panicked, kicked Appel Ross to the ground and ate him. Hercules was very sad and tried to throw the king into the hungry horses.

The horse whose appetite was satisfied immediately became tame, and Hercules easily took the horse on board. Hercules and his companions took the mare back to Mycenae, and they gave it to Eurythius.

Hercules' next task awaits him in a distant place. He must cross the Bosphorus Strait to the south bank of Caspian Sea, which is the legendary home of Amazonians in Central Asia. Admete, the daughter of Eurythus Hughes, has always liked a famous belt, which was given to Hippolyta, the queen of Amazon by Ares. Hercules' task is to seize this belt from the queen. Hercules brought more assistants this time. When they arrived at the Amazon coast, Queen Hippolyta heard that she was a famous hero. She was very happy and respected him, so she gave Heracles her belt as a symbol of love. But his old rival Hera stood in the way. She spread rumors everywhere that the stranger wanted to kidnap the queen. The Amazonians were furious after hearing this, so they were armed to the teeth and a fierce battle began. The brave Amazonians fought fiercely with Hercules' soldiers, but the latter became more and more difficult to deal with. Hercules had to catch one of Hippolyta's sisters and threatened to kill her if his men were not allowed to leave safely. The Amazon gave in, and Hercules and his companions got on the boat and returned to Mycenae with Lv Bo Te's famous belt.

When Hercules gave the gold belt to Eurydice Hughes, Eurydice Hughes was determined to send him to the mysterious west. His tenth task is to steal a herd of strong cows from Glion, who is guarded by the three-headed giant Glion. He came to the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, where two huge stone pillars stood on both sides of the strait. Hercules made a long journey. On his way to Eritrea, the bright light of Apollo, the bright sun god, made him sweat. He finally jumped up angrily, picked up an arrow and shot at the sun god. The sun god scolded him, and Hercules immediately apologized. Later, Apollo lent him a gold cup, with which he could reach his destination smoothly. On the Eritrean island, Hercules shot three Grugni Weng with an arrow.

When Hercules returned to Greece with a group of strong cows, he found another western mission waiting for him. First, he must find the sacred garden in Hesperides, which is a wedding gift from Mother Earth to Hera, and he must pick some golden apples from it. It is not easy to find the sacred garden, because no one knows it. But there are many things to grind. Finally, he learned from nereus that golden apples can only be picked with the help of Atlas, the giant who supports the sky. Atlas offered to help because Hera's designated guardian of Hesperides was his daughter. If Hercules can take over his burden and hold up the sky for him, he can also pick golden apples for Hercules himself.

When Atlas went to pick apples for Hercules, Hercules propped up the sky with all his strength. The ease and freedom after flying in the sky made Atlas unwilling to carry apples. In order to let him hold up the sky again, Hercules had to play a trick or two. He asked Atlas to help him adjust his angle temporarily. Atlas agreed, and then Hercules flung off and left in a hurry.

The twelfth and final task was given after Hercules picked the golden apples. Euripides Hughes gave him a challenge, because Eurystheus recalled God's promise that the hero would become God after long and hard work. So this time, he sent Hercules to accomplish a task that could not be accomplished on the ground: he had to go to hades to bring back the three-headed watchdog, burroughs.

Hercules came to Eleusinian, where the priests were proficient in the secrets of yin and yang. Knowing these secrets, Hercules asked Athena and Hermes to tell him the way to Hades. In hades, he rescued theseus, who had arrived in hades before him. Then Hercules met Hades, the keeper of hades, and he agreed that if Hercules could subdue the hellhound without weapons, he could borrow it. This terrible dog has three heads and a row of poisonous snakes around its neck, but Heracles's lion skin protects it.

The fierce dog finally gave in, and Hercules tied it with a rope and dragged it back to earth. Eurystheus almost fainted when the dog appeared in front of him. He was glad to relieve Hercules of his hard labor and let him leave forever.

Hercules, who finally completed twelve arduous tasks, finally ended his hard labor and was free. Hercules had many great achievements later. After suffering, I finally became a god on Olympus and married the goddess of youth.
