Hercules as a child

Ever since Hercules was a child he made it obvious that he was no common mortal because he had super human strength and divine gifts. Hercules was born in Thebes, Greece. Hercules is the son of Zeus and a mortal woman. Zeus's wife Hera set out to destroy Hercules by all means. When Hercules was 8 months old Hera put two snakes in the cradle of Hercules, but because of his strength he overpowered the snakes.
