Today, I am going to write about Hercules.
ReplyDeleteThe fist one I’m going to tell you about the Heracles in the story:- He has to do 12 difficult labours, he is very strong.
The second one is the Hercules in Jason and the Argonauts:- he is very stupid and he is also like the fist one very strong. He also does 12 labours
The last one is the Hercules in the movie Hercules very strong and he has to do 12 labours he becomes a god.
I enjoyed learning about him.
Heracles
ReplyDeleteIn the book version that we have read Heracles is spelt different from the other way. He is young, extremely strong. What he does wrong is that he drinks one forbidden glass of wine gets drunk and kills all of his family. He is then a slave for the king and has to do 12 labors before he is freed.
Hercules the movie:
This is the Disney version of the movie and they make Heracles look handsome, strong and kind. He gets stolen when he is born by Hades sidekicks and they make him almost all mortal but he does not drink the last drop so he still has his strength.
Jason and the Argonauts the movie:
In the one Hercules is a fat, flabby middle aged man. He thinks he is really strong and handsome so he thinks all the woman would like a flabby middle aged man. What he does wrong is he goes into Talos’s tomb when they arrive at the island and he takes stuff.

Three Stories about Hercules.
ReplyDeleteThe first story is a book called: “Twelve Labors of Heracles”. It was about him getting drunk, and without being able to control his enormous strength. He killed his whole family and many other people and was sentenced for 7 years of hard labor. During those 7 years he did 12 heroic labors, like killing animals, cleaning the stables and bringing apples which were in the other end of the world. Finally he was freed, and he died, without ever taking a sip of wine. The gods made a picture of him made out of stars, since he was a hero.
The second one is about him being in the movie called: “Jason and the Argonauts”. He was very strong, but very stupid, and did not listen to Jason, so got left alone on the island and died.
The last story is about Hercules the cartoon. He fell in love and married Meg, killing all the Titans and Hades. He was a true hero.
