In
Greek and Roman Mythology the immortal gods and goddesses played a major
role.
They controlled everything from the heavens to the seas and beyond.
The Olympians acted to their own advantage.
They did not think twice about destroying a mere mortal’s life.
Some mortals ended up living a life of luxury once they had been
affected by an Olympian deity.
Other mortals where predestined to live a life that was sometimes
hard and full of sorrow due to the gods.
One of those figures whose road of life was always crossing those
of the immortals is our hero, Herakles.
The following section will show how much Herakles had to do with
the gods and goddesses of the ancient world. (AH)
