Yeah, Hera got jealous of Zeus, because he ****** mortals (Hercules mother in greek mythology is Alcmene, a mortal), so she kinda made him go off in a frenzy, where he killed his family.
That would be Kratos and not Hercules, but you right as to why Kratos is that white.
As for, christofferse, I do believe Hercules accomplished something that was worthy to all the gods and Hera ends up having to forgive Hercules - which saves his family. Somehow, it's all ****** up, but I read it a while back.
"Hercules, did you leave the toilet seat up?"
"What, Meg? I couldn't hear you over the ticking of time as my life nears its end since I gave up immortality for you."
"...Nevermind, it's ok."
'Damn right, it is."
What's hilarious is how inaccurate that game is to the actual mythology.
The Gods were 100% unkillable. Even other gods and titans couldn't kill them. They'd have fried him and chucked him into tartarus while chuckling and downing wine.
but they didn't die, if you listen to the phone call Easter eggs you know what happens to them, well not exactly but Aries ended up in a room of eternal torture.
Unkillable, yes. Unslaughterable? No. There are many accounts of gods being cut up and reformed. Cronus himself was cut up once placed into Tartarus, and the pieces were scattered inside to keep him from reforming in some stories.
Some stories even say that after the gods took enough pain they "died" and were brought back by Hestia's hearth.
Of course, it is a video game. Accuracy wasn't their biggest concern when for action games.
Moab, Utah. Pretty much the entire southern part of the state, it's basically the extremely stereotypical desert you see in every movie involving the wild west, with those big sandstone stacks and **** . This is the picture I find closest to Olympus up there, but it's not what Moab is famous for.
It's right in that language shifts create colloquialisms that are commonly understood, making Hercules vs. Heracles a purely academic concern that, if brought up in regular conversation, comes off as pedantic and pretentious.
Learning is great, but we're talking about a factoid, here. It's not particularly enlightening to know, and nobody is burning any libraries by not concerning themselves with it. The character is virtually the same in either mythology, except for the Romans ascribing his involvement in building some famous sites. In both the movie and game being referenced, the character is called Hercules, which means that the misnomer isn't even relevant to the content.
