Line 89:
*Apollo is pictured to be an arrogant god. In the myth, Apollo is who Hercules consults on the purification after Hercules killed his first wife Megara when he was under Hera's madness.
*Hercules fights the [[Minotaur]] in the series. In the myth, it was [[Theseus]] who slays the Minotaur.
*The mythical Hercules killed his first wife, Megara and their children after Hera struck him with madness. In the series, Hercules' first wife is Deianeira, and Hera kills her directly with a fireball; this story does not exist in the myth. Deineira was his second wife who accidentally tricked him into his death. Hercules was later ascended by Zeus into [[Mt. Olympus]] with Hera's consent and married one of his half-sisters [[Hebe (mythology)|Hebe]], a daughter of Zeus and Hera.
*Hades looks younger than Zeus when he is supposed to be the older brother of Zeus even before Poseidon. He and Hercules are shown to be allies, when in the myth, Hades rarely worked with Hercules aside from that of a framed-up death. Hades never had an alliance with Hercules in the mythology, although the two are not enemies. Also Hades had his own infidelities with two nymphs whom his niece/wife Persephone turned into plants.
*Aphrodite and Ares' relationship is not very emphasized, though flirtations between them are shown. Ares' paternity to Cupid isn't stated clearly. Also, it should be emphasized that Aphrodite never had a happy relationship with Hephaestus nor did they reconcile and frequently [[cheat]]ed on him with Ares.
