The God of Olympus
“Due to the loss of blood Hercules was entirely unconscious throughout his journey in Hades’ chariot. When he awoke he looked around and saw himself chained between two large pillars. Ares, the god who had chained him there, seemed to have temporarily left him.
Hercules began to think about many things. He remembered the words of Philotetes, that the Gods would only follow a true hero into battle. “But oh what is the great secret?” thought Hercules. “How can I become a true hero?” He was ...then drawn to Hades’ words that a true hero was nothing more than a fallacy, something that weak mortals conjure up out of their imagination. Hercules suddenly realized that he was a mortal and thought that perhaps he had merely entertained the entire idea out of his imagination—that in fact it all had been his imagination. Had he really seen Zeus? Was he really the son of Zeus and Hera? It seemed preposterous that his mind could make it all up.
As Hercules looked out he saw Athens being torn apart. People ran throughout the city with fear. Buildings were being toppled. He saw Hades wave his staff in the air before his armies. He heard Hades yell loudly so that his voice echoed over the battlefield—“Go into the city! Destroy every building! Kill all who opposes you!” Hades shot a pillar of fire into the air from his staff.MoreLess
