He'd go the distance, walk every mile without complaining, and go almost anywhere to feel that he belonged. Sometimes he felt like hitting the road to search for that place. Hercules had often dreamed of a far-off place where crowds would cheer when they saw him, instead of running in the opposite direction. His insecurity stemmed from how hard it was for him to find his place in the world because of how alone and out of place he was. Among his tics, Herc has an energy and a sort of naïveté quality, having been raised as a polite, hardworking farmer in the country. Throughout his life, Hercules is portrayed as gawky and awkward, but mostly clumsy because of not having control of his godly strength which tends to accidentally cause destruction.
Hercules maybe a demigod, but after drinking a mortal potion, he was still considered a mortal. “ A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.” ―Zeus to Herculesīorn on Mount Olympus, Hercules is the vibrant, tenacious and optimistic son of Zeus.
