Why was hera mad at hercules?

Question

to make him kill his family?

Answer 1

I am not sure, but I think that Zeus was fooling around with another woman, and they had Hercules as a son.... so Hera was mad that her husband was fooling around, and Hercules was the result.

Zeus was ALWAYS fooling around....

Answer 2

Hera's husband Zeus was Hercules father, Adriani was Herc's mother.  Hera hated all the offspring of Zeus' extra marital affairs.  Hera was the goddess of marriage, it kind of humiliated her that she couldn't keep her husband at home.

Answer 3

zeus fooled around  

Answer 4

Plain and simple:::::

Zeus was cheating on her with other women and had conceived a child with a mortal.....in fact many mortals.

I forgot which one in particular who was Hercules' mother, but yeah.

Hera had always had it out for Hercules, especially since she tried to kill him since he was a  baby.

(She put two snakes in his crib but baby Hercules was strong enough to strangle them.)

Answer 5

From what I remember Hera hated Hercules all his life because he was the offspring of Zeus and a mortal woman (so basically Zeus cheated on Hera, which is why she was pissed).

Answer 6

Zeus was a womanizer. He seduced and raped other women (mortal, and immortal) even though he was married to Hera. Hera was furious about it. But Zeus got a mortal woman pregnant, Hera was even more pissed then before. So that is why she put a spell on him and made him kill his family. Then in order to redeem himself in the eyes of the gods, he served his cousin(a king). Hera talked the cousin into sending Hercules on 12 heroic deeds. Hera thought he would be killed long before he finished the deeds, but each time he survived, she got even more irritated. But later; after finishing the deeds, Hercles is poisonded by Hydra's blood and is burned in a fire before rising to Olympus, becoming a god. (Bet Hera wasn't happy about that, lol)
