Hercules
The goddess Hera caused much strife
Caused Hercules to kill his wife
His children also met this fate
Whilst he was in an angry state.
Hera made him loose his mind
Though Hercules was always kind
He didn’t know what he had done
Till he had killed his wife and son.
Hercules hung his head in shame
He realised he was much to blame
He sought advice from gods on high
Apollo answered with a cry.
In punishment for murdering
Your family , you’ll serve the King
Of Mycenae and Tiryns city
You’ll labour long without his pity. Twelve long years you’ll perform tasks
You’ll do whatever he dares ask
Your sentence will include such feats
Ferocious monsters you will meet.
Now Hercules asked for help once more
To settle this difficult, dangerous chore
Hermes and Athena came to his aid
And Hercules was a hero made.
