While a lot is known about Hercules, not very much attention was paid to his mother: Alcmene. Hercules is known to be one of the few mortals who eventually becomes a god in Greek mythology.
He had superhuman strength and would endure such hardship because of his parentage. According to legend, Hercules was half god, born to a human mother and the kind of the gods, Zeus. Hercules (Heracles in Greek) is perhaps one of the best-known heroes in Greek and Roman mythology.
