In Episode 13 - Zero to Hero, we embark on a journey through ancient Greek mythology to unravel the epic tale of Heracules, the legendary hero of unparalleled strength and valor. We begin by extending a heartfelt apology for our previous misconceptions and harsh judgments of Hercules, acknowledging the depth and complexity of his character. Delving into his origins, we explore the divine lineage of Hercules as the son of Zeus, king of the gods, and the mortal Alcmene. Despite his divine heritage, Hercules faces numerous trials and tribulations, beginning with the relentless persecution orchestrated by Hera, Zeus's jealous wife. Throughout his remarkable life, Hercules confronts a series of daunting challenges known as the Twelve Labors, each more formidable than the last. However, our exploration doesn't end there. We delve into the complex dynamics of Hercules's familial relationships, particularly his fraught interactions with Hera and Zeus. Despite enduring their unjust wrath and manipulation, Hercules perseveres, ultimately transcending his divine lineage to become a symbol of mortal heroism. Of course we discuss the iconic Disney adaptation of Hercules with the original myth, highlighting the divergences and nuances between the two narratives.  Join us as we celebrate the timeless tale of Hercules, from zero to hero, and uncover the profound lessons of courage, resilience, and redemption that resonate through the ages.
