After Hercules successfully completed the 12 labors, Apollo’s promise of an immortal life on Mount Olympus was still many difficult years way. Hercules had to rescue the princess of Troy from a hungry sea-monster and help Zeus defeat the Giants in a great battle for the control of Olympus before he could take his earned place among the Olympians. Many years later, Hercules married to Deianira, whose name means “man-destroyer” or “destroyer of her husband”. One day, upon returning home from what would be his last adventure, Deianira presented Hercules with a cloak. She had coated it in what she thought was a magic balm that would guarantee his love for her forever. Unfortunately for Hercules the balm was actually poison. When Hercules put the cloak on it began to burn him. Unable to get the cloak off, Hercules was sure death was the only release from this agonizing pain. And so a huge funeral pyre was built for the hero atop Mount Oeta. Just as the fire started to burn all around Hercules, the gods looked down from Mount Olympus. At that moment, Hera finally agreed that Hercules had indeed suffered enough. Zeus sent Athena to save Hercules from the burning pyre and bring him to Mount Olympus on her chariot. So that was cool. Finally, at the end of Hercules’ story, he was welcomed home and allowed to spend eternity among the gods on Mount Olympus.
