About Hercules
Hercules, born on Mount Olympus, son of Zeus, is vibrant, tenacious, and optimistic. While he is a demigod, he becomes a mortal after drinking a mortal potion.
Afterwards, we see his gawky and awkward, but mostly clumsy nature due to not having fine control over his godly strength. He also has a lot of energy and is somewhat naïve.
By the end of the film, he has evolved into a true hero. After meeting and falling in love with Meg, he learns that the value of a hero is measured by the strength of his heart, not the strength of his muscles.
