Disney's Hercules

I think that the directors should have not changed the majority of the original myth the way they did. I dislike the fact that they had Hades and Zeus feuding in the movie which never happened in the real myth. I also think that Hera should not have been cast as Hercules's mother, simply because this is in direct contradiction of the entire myth in which Hera is jealous that Zeus had a kid with a mortal woman and since then had tried to kill Hercules as way of exacting revenge on Zeus.  Hercules in addition was never a god in the myth but they portray him a such in the movie. They also mention later in the movie that Hercules killed the Minotaur and the Gorgon Medusa. This never happened in Greek mythology. The Gorgon Medusa was slain by Perseus and the Minotaur was killed by Theseus. The directors also do not mention the twelve trials that Hercules went through in the actual myth. Lastly they portray Hercules as a hero to every one but in the actual myth he was hero and a villain to many. He saved as many lives in the myth as he killed. All of these plot twists were something added in by the directors to give the story a greater flair to it than it would have had otherwise. While the movie itself was highly entertaining, I wish they had kept it more accurate and in sync with the plot of the myth itself.
