| @chikka2: Also, after the labors, Heracles continued as a hero, and led Greek armies all over the place. He eventually married Meleager's sister Deianira. When he met Meleager in the underworld, he promised that he would marry his sister. Deianira and Heracles had some children who also grew to be great heroes. Deianira, however, worried that Heracles was being unfaithful, covered his Nemean lion cloak in the blood of Nessus. Nessus was a centaur who had tried to carry off Deianira and was shot by one of Heracles' poison arrows. The blood of the centaur had mixed with the hydra's poison and caused Heracles to burst into flames when he put on the cloak. Heracles was brought into heaven as a god, and married Hebe, the goddess of youth and child of Zeus and Hera. |
