Oh NO!!!! That movie sucks!!! It is a shameless falsification of actual mythology. Leave it to those d*mn prudes to make Hercules (Herakles) the legitimate child of Hera and Zeus!! He was soooo not that! Herakles was the bastard child of Zeus and Alkmene, making Hera (Zeus' wife), not Hades, his Arch Enemy (Hades may be the god of the underworld, he is not intrinsically evil). A probably etymological explanation of his name is Hera's curse!
Grrr...I hate it when they twist stories to fit happy happy Disney films
