After carrying Deianeira, the wife of Heracles, across the river, Nessus attempted to force himself upon her. Heracles saw this from across the river and shot a Hydra-poisoned arrow into Nessus's breast. As he lay dying, as a final act of malice, Nessus told Deianeira that his blood would ensure that Heracles would be true to her forever, knowing the blood to be infected with the hydra's poison.

I think another good lesson that you can learn from Heracles is redemption. Not redemption in other people's eyes, no to the person it really matters yourself. Through his labors Heracles was able to process and accept his crimes. He gave up himself to a higher cause and thus he was able to live without the constant guilt of his actions.

HERCULES and the biblical SAMSON are the same archetype. Examples: Hercules’ first labor-kill a lion Samson’s first feat-kill a lion Hercules captures the hind Samson captures 300 foxes Hercules betrayed by wife Deianara Samson betrayed by lover Delilah Hercules had his 12 labors, while Samson was judge over 12 tribes. Samson’s name means “sun, bright sun” so he is a solar figure. In the story, he plays the role of the sun, going through symbolic acts of each Zodiac sign-his own “12 labors”. The last two were Aquarius and Pisces. His lover’s name, Delilah, who betrayed him, means water-pot, and is the Hebrew word for Aquarius. Thus, Samson the sun, is made to wane in Delilah/Aquarius, and the power of his rays (hair) is cut off. After this, he is brought to the feast of Dagon, the Philistine fish god, correlating with Pisces. By pushing against two pillars, Samson brings down the whole temple on both the Philistines and himself-crucifixion of the sun, to save his 12 tribes. One other similarity between Hercules and Samson-They were both really swoll, and were accused of using performance-enhancing drugs. ...I guess that makes sense, if you consider the sperm of Zeus/Yahweh to be a performance-enhancing drug.

After that the daughter of Atlas left her home for she had betrayed her father. Then when Heracles retold the story he only mentioned 4 sister's and said it was his idea of triking Atlas, leaving out the girl who had given up her life with her family and being banished from her home just to help him.

Thank you for creating this video I've always wanted to know the legend of Hercules but I could tell fact from fiction but you've helped so much with this video.

When are u do a gonna do a video on african myth? I would really love a video on one of the yoruba orishas or the vodou loa like Papa Legba. The only problem you'd face i guess would be finding really good fan art like you do for most videos
