I know, I always assumed he was just chasing some fine mortal booty but I thought maybe there was a more dignified motive behind all of it. Nooooope.

Why did Zeus transform into a bull and rape a mortal woman?

Some shit just doesn't make any sense.

I guess Zeus was pretty... Horny.

It's seen as a pretty weird thing nowadays. I guess it could make an interesting conversation on how society looks at bestiality and sexuality differently.

Since when has Hercules actually liked Zeus?

Well I based my opinion on the hercules cartoon movie. I can't see were he does not like his father even in other movies. I think hercules does love his father.

Why do you base your opinion on the movies? There were never shown any signs of love nor liking in the myths. Only respect.

The movie actually doesn't put the real story in it just to spout some "Disney" magic. Hera, the goddess whom Zeus married, actually hates Hercules. This was the reason he was cast out in the first place.

Zeus had an affair with another woman, Alc- something. :v

True story Hercules isn't actually what he was called. I believe he was actually called Heracles or Herakleos.
Which is actually partially composed of his mothers name

I thought he was Herakles after Hera since Hera nurtured him as a child and breastfed him, giving him his superhuman strength and creating the Milky Way in the process.

Actually, I just googled it. His birth name was Alcaeus or Alcides. Hercules is what the Romans called Heracles.

And on the way, I found these four paragraphs of confusing family drama and fuckery that surpasses Mexican soap opera.

I see, so the disney movie really is not the truth behind the truth of Hercules. But it is a pretty good movie.

One of the writers in Disney did propose putting in Heracles' mythological death scene (he wears a hydra-blood-poisoned tunic that was given to him by his wife because she thought it would make him want to bang her more often. The tunic sticks to his body and begins eating right into his skin and flesh, so Hercules rips it off with his bare hands, including his own flesh and fragments of his bones. Being a fucking badass, he single-handedly starts plucking trees while still covered in his own melted flesh and blood, and pretty much builds his own funeral pyre, burning himself and ascending to heaven saying So long bitches, I'm heading to Olympus.)

The writer was politely told to fuck off.
