      The one bad thing Hades does is kidnap a girl, Persephone... with Zeus' permission because the guy was head over heels for her, but knew her mother, Demeter, would not allow her to go with Hades. Her mother threw a tantrum and caused nothing to grow, causing Winter, so Zeus had to have Hades release her so people could grow food again.
      He does trick her into eating some fruit of the underworld, requiring her to remain there for a third of the year, and her mother would throw more tantrums, resulting in Winter. Even then, Persephone and Hades absolutely love one another, so it would not surprise me if she knew exactly what he was pulling, but did it anyway to give herself an excuse to be with her husband that her mother could not contest.

      The game "Hades" besides being fantastic, is a more accurate telling of the Hades mythos (perhaps with a bit of fudging on the Persephone kidnapping depending on what source you draw from). It's basically an opposite telling of the myth to this movie. I enjoy them both, of course. If you're a fan of mythology, you really have to get used to different tellings of the same stories, ha ha.

    Some fun facts about the movie:
    - Disney wanted it to have it's premiere on the Pnyx hill, but the Greek government rejected it. This because the Greek press watched the movie in advanced for their reviews and they absolutly destroyed it.
    - Hades was originally going to be darker, more serious and menacing, but when James Woods was casted, they changed his character to be more like him.
    - When Tate Donovan was casted as Hercules, he told his family, but they thought he was casted in the live action Hercules show of 1995.
    - If in the film's universe only "True heros" have access to Olympus, then Narcisus did something to be one cause he's not a god. (Which makes it sad for Megara cause she saved Hercules, and she should be considered a true heroin and go to Olympus at the end along with Hercules).
    - The Muses (like half the gods in Olympus) are also Zeuz's daughters. Therefore, the muse Thalia actually has a crush on her half-brother Hercules.
    - When Pain and Panic are "trapped" under the rocks, one shouts "Call IXII". This is 911 in Roman numbers, but it can also be 112, the current Greek emergency number.
    - It took 18 months to animate the Hydra scene.
    - Director Ron Clements said the reason they used Gospel music was because this genre touches the themes of hope, idealism, and larger-than-life destinies, and that was perfect for Greek mythology.
    - Just like many other films, Disney wanted it to have a straight-to-DVD sequel. This would have been called "Hercules II: The Trojan War". Hebe was going to be the daughter of Hercules and Megara. Helen would have a been a friend of Hercules, and was going to be kidnap by Paris, the villan in this sequel. And that was going to make Hercules join the Greek side. I ignore if they ended up using ideas for this cancelled sequel in the TV show.

    Whoever decided to mix a Greco-Roman myth with Gospel Music deserves a bigger raise then they probably got. I also kinda like the subtle undertone of Hercules being a Rocky-esque character, Phil is his Mickey and he coaches him like a boxing match.
    Yes a lot of the movie covers elements of the Hercules/Heracles mythos, with a mix of some others, though of course they are also very liberal with the canon given how problematic all the key characters are and a lot of grisly fate, including Meg who was murdered by Hercules with their children in a house fire after Hera drove him mad, thus begetting the 12 Labors.
    Also yeah the Olympians are Hades' siblings, nephews and nieces (and because inbreeding also cousins and in-laws) but the titans - and cyclops - are also his uncles given how they were children of Gaia, plus Aphrodite since in some cases she is born from the severed testicle of Cronus.

    Fun Fact: The whole dramatic reveal of Hercules' thread becoming un-cuttable because he achieved godly status wouldn't have worked in actual mythology AT ALL.
    One of the most important aspects of the thread being cut is that it is possible for every living being INCLUDING deities (and of course inevitable for mortals) however their destinies generally don't forsee them dying so it doesn't happen. The point is that they totally COULD kill a deity by cutting their thread.

    Thanks guys for reacting to this. This is one of my favorite Disney movies of the time. Interesting tidbit, this is pretty much similar to Superman and Rocky.
    I mean think about this:
    *Hercules's parents Zeus and Hera (Disney wise) - Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van (DC): Superman's Kryptonian Parents*
    *Hercules's adoptive parents Amphitryon and Alcmene (Disney wise) - Martha and Jonathan Kent (DC): Superman's Adoptive Parents*
    *Hercules's strength and Pegasus (Disney) - Embodiment of Superman's powers (Strength and Flight, along with his other powers)*
    *Hercules's trainer Phil (Disney) - Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen (DC) and Rocky's trainer Mickey Goldmill/Duke/Apollo Creed (Rocky)*
    *Hercules's love Meg (Disney) - Superman's love Lois Lane (DC)*
    *Hercules's foe, Hades (Disney) - Superman's foes, Darkseid/General Zod/Lex Luthor/Brainiac/Metallo etc.(DC)*
    The Song Go the Distance and the quote from this movie was also similar:
    *Go the Distance (Hercules) - Going the Distance (Rocky)*
    *"For a True Hero is never measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart/But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part, for a hero's strength is measured by his heart" (Hercules) - Back on the beat, back to the start, trust in your heart, That's the measure of a Man." (Rocky)*

    6:20 Unfortunately, this will probably never happen as Disney has completely dismantled their 2D animation studio, and everyone who knew how to do 2D animation is either retired or dead. It took them considerable effort and several favors to make The Princess and the Frog as a last hurrah to the medium. It would be even harder now. They'd basically have to start from square one.
    If you want 2D animation, watch anime. That's all you're getting.

    Disney made this movie because they got such backlash from people on the way they did “Pocahontas” and “Hunchback of Notre Dame” saying they were too dark. James Woods is such a great actor for Hades. After he was cast as Hades they had to rewrite the character cause he was written as a slow menacing character. Woods told Disney anytime they need this character voiced in a video or a game to call him and he will do it. When he found out that Disney was going over budget on this film he offered to refund his salary to make sure the film was completed. Disney declined his offer and found another way to complete it. When he’s slurping his drink Woods is eating a watermelon to make the slurping sound. 22:53 the Hydra is the only CGI in the film. Everything else is hand drawn. It would’ve taken too many hours for the artists to draw and animate all the heads. 25:28 yeah because later you see him with Scar’s pelt posing for a picture.

    In the original story When Hercules finally died, his mortal form was burned away. And all that was left was his godly form. And it was then that he ascended to mount olympus. I would assume that once this Hercules lives out his mortal life. The same thing will happen. His mortal self will be burned away and he will be elevated to the ranks of the gods. Also, it was originally 12 labors, but he accidentally cheated on 2 of them. So he had to do another too so technically it was fourteen labors But nobody counts the fact that he had helped on 2 of them. I believe the both of them are when he accidentally ended up deposing his own Cousin's dad and then put the cousin on the throne Because he was angry about the way the cousin's dad treated the trial and said that he cheated just because he did something smart by diverting a river to clean out the stable. And then when he went to haphestus To have a magical device that was essentially a bell. Clapper made to get the herpes to fly up so he could kill them With his bow. But because he had to get secondary help that one did not count towards the actual trial ether

    Hercules greek mythology inaccuracies corrections:
    0:49 Yeah, they got that right except the fact there's supposed to be 9 muses
    0:53 HERACLES! Hercules is the roman name of Heracles, not the Greek... And it's obvious this is the Greek story!
    1:45 There were still a few gods even before the titans, such as the primordials. Gaea was even the mother of most titans!
    2:01 Zeus did not single-handedly defeat the titans. He had help from alot of creatures, the cyclops, his siblings, etc.
    2:03 If they mean Khaos, no, he would be a toddler, even a baby compared to Khaos! And if you mean chaos the titans made, still no, he got help!
    2:29 Yup, he took advantage of LOTS of woman, goddesses and even mortal woman! There's this one story where he even took advantage of a boy because he was handsome!
    3:13 IT'S HERACLES, NOT HERCULES!!!!
    3:33 If Narcissus discovered himself, he should be flowers right now
    3:54 That's not Pegasus was born. He sprang from the neck of medusa when perseus killed her
    4:06 Sorry but Hades did not have fire as hair
    4:10 That wasn't invented back then
    4:46 No he wasn't actually! He was quite charitable at times and the worst thing he'd ever done was kidnap Persephone and then try to cheat on her which he never done again when he failed!
    4:54 Hades cared for Cerberus
    5:21 Those characters are not in Greek Mythology.
    5:51 Hades had no intention of invading Olympus.
    6:06 Heracles would never fight Hades as Hades would easily win. Plus, Hades doesn't really hate Heracles anyway!
    6:06 The fates do not share one eye. That's the grey sisters.
    6:13 Heracles was born a demi-god so he was already technically mortal
    6:23 Was that supposed to be Nyx, the Greek Primordial of night? If so, it doesn't look like her.
    6:43 Damn. That wasn't in Greek Mythology
    6:51 Yes, he was raised with mortals but not like taht!
    7:12 The serpents weren't two ShapeShifters sent by Hades. They were normal snakes sent by Hera. Yes, Hera is the villain is Heracles' story!
    7:15 Heracles did not throw them away, he straight up snapped their necks!
    8:27 He was not feared by his mortals
    9:08 Heracles did not destroy any town, accidentally or not.
    9:23 He was not hated by his peers. He lived on the outskirts of his town and was actually praised and seen as a hero as he protected the town from predators.
    10:28 Did Heracles even sing? I doubt it
    12:19 Yes, Heracles always knew who his father was.
    12:31 Yes, you can Zeus. A god has the power to turn a mortal into a god.
    12:41 Nope. The trainer of heros is Chiron. Not some satyr.
    12:54 Heracles wasn't Pegasus's rider. Infact, they never interacted. That was Bellerophon.
    14:23 Although Theseus didn't have a happy ending, he did beat the minotaur and Perseus defeated Medusa so what the hell does Phil mean!?
    14:33 Infact, there is a perseus constellation!.
    14:56 How is that shocking? He's trained Perseus and he's also the son of Zeus!
    14:56 Why is Phil so surprised? He trained Perseus
    15:06 No one except Hera, possibly Persephone, Hades, Poseidon, the primordials and Khaos would ever dare make fun of Zeus! Not even Kratos. In Greek Mythology, Kratos actually serves Zeus
    16:29 Damn, that's a loud scream!
    16:44 That was not Heracles's first creatures he's faced, infact, that was his last one.
    17:08 Heracles was not dumb or naive!
    17:42 That's not how he defeated it. He struck it with a poison arrow
    18:22 Yes, Megara was Heracles's first wife but not for the whole story. He accidentally killed her when Hera drove him insane.
    20:54 Why didn't Hades know? He knows every soul that enters the underworld so Hades shouldn't have not known!
    21:04 Hades does not have fire powers.
    23:16 The hydra's toxic breath should've kill Heracles. I guess it's something called ✨Plot armour✨
    23:24 Again, Heracles should be d@ed!
    23:45 The hydra has 9 heads and does not generate more heard when a head is cut-off it simply regenerates the head that is cut off. Plus, isn't a water creature that Hera bred to kill Heracles?
    24:12 The hydra was killed at swamp-like area but still burried in rocks as it was referenced here!
    24:52 He did not kill the boar
    25:05 That lion-like creature was actually the first beast Heracles faced.
    25:14 There were no action figures in Greek Mythology
    25:17 Is taht the bird-like creature? If so, why is it so large and not metal?
    25:23 He did not face scylla
    25:30 IT'S HERACLES, NOT HERCULES FOR NYX SAKE!
    26:40 Again, HADES IS NOT EVIL!

      I guess he was right 😂 Damn, poor Scar. Wait, does that mean that the lion king took place when greek mythology was around?

    For One Piece fans. The 3 Ancient Weapons are named after Greek Gods:
    * Pluton - Hades's planet is Pluto. He's also a son of Kronos, The Greek God of Time.
    * Posiden - The Greek God of the Sea and Hades's brother.
    * Uranus - The God of the Sky. The Son and Husband of Gaia (Earth), and the father of Kronos.
    I think that Imu -Sama is based of Kronos:
    * His symbol animal is a snake and there are a lot of snakes referenced throughout the story.
    * He overthrew his father and ruled during the mythological Golden Age. This could be referring to how Imu took over the world of One Piece.
    * He lived on Mount Othrys. Which is a mountain range of central Greece, in the northeastern part of Phthiotis and southern part of Magnesia. Its highest summit, Gerakovouni, situated on the border of Phthiotis and Magnesia, is 1,726 m (5,663 ft) above sea level. This could be a referring to Mary Geoise.
