Hercules: Disney hero?

The Heracles of the ancient Greek myth is an unlikely Disney hero for his adultery and violence. He is cursed by Hera with bouts of “madness” that caused him to destroy the people around him, and this alone makes him not fit to be a true Disney hero. In addition, he is overly violent with his interactions with others, in that he has murdered a multitude of people. And, he is conniving in his deals with different figures, most noticeably Atlas and his deal to hold the sky. His adultery is also substantial throughout the entire myth of Heracles, making the figure unacceptable to be a Disney hero. However, Disney makes some significant switches to the original myth to make Hercules a loved, and appropriate, hero.
