Description

It was only after the announcement of her pregnancy that Hebe, goddess of youth and daughter of Hera, did Hera come to terms with her daughters marriage to Hercules. Upon her granddaughter's birth Hera requested that the child be named Heracles (HERA-cles, get it,) and that the child be raised for the first 15  years of her life on Olympus and her father Hercules agreed. Hera's clever plan worked as time on Olympus is much different than that on the mortal realm and Heracles's being unable to go to Olympus by an old decree of Hera, his daughter had never met her father. It is only now that her 15 year on Olympus has past that Heracles can go to the mortal realm and see the world of man and meet her father. so now father and daughter fight to make the world a better place.

I really wanted to do a daughter of thor type thing, but I already did that once and realized I've never seen a version of Hercules having a daughter and thought, why not. added the 'lion of Olympus'  style belt buckle and gave her a outfit that I felt was 'god-like' and yet practical. I choose a sleeve less look as a tip of the hat to 'Hercules :the legendary journey's' as the Kevin Sorbo version didn't wear any himself. the giant oversized mace was a suppose to be a giant wooden club that Hercules has in the stories, but I felt in this version she's want to have a melee style weapon but they way it came out I feel is just awesome.

The 'Hera'cles pun is actually the origin of the name in mythology. Since he was the result of one of Zeus' many extramarital assignations, his mother named him "Glory of Hera" in an attempt to mollify his father's famously jealous wife. It did no good - the goddess hated him and regularly tormented him throughout his life. ;P
