Disney is well known for adapting stories from around the world. Taking inspiration from the Brothers Grimm, classic novels, and other stories from around the world adapted to child-friendly movies that capture the hearts of millions. Unfortunately, some of these changes leave the wrong impression of these classic tales and when people find out the original story is not only completely different but gruesome that “happily ever after” ending will never be looked at the same.  The movie “Hercules” has misinformed people on the true story of Hercules and fans of classic Greek myths have been more than happy to point out what the Disney version got wrong.  The Disney movie tells the tale of Hercules, a Greek god turned human, and his journey earning his place back on Olympus (the home of the gods). Along the way, he falls in love with Megara and must avoid the wrath of Hades, the god of the underworld.
