Greek God

Greek God by Eva Piper

If you could be or create a Greek god, who would you be and why?

If I could be any Greek god, I would be Hercules. Hercules is one of the most famous Greek myths. He taught lessons in his myth like no other. There was even a Disney movie about him! Secondly, he is very mighty. One reason he is so iconic is because of his muscles. He was intimidating but heroic. Very, very courageous. Hercules took a turn for the better after he was challenged to complete ten labors to make up for his wrongs. He was tricked into ruining his family by the goddess Hera, who was jealous of him and his parents. Hercules was a living reminder of her husband's infidelity. After torturing them, he was sent off to complete these missions. For example, he had to clean the Augean Stables and slay the nine-headed hydra. The tasks were beyond difficult, but Hercules still worked to complete them, showing how much he cared about his family and righting his wrongs. Hercules was an astounding god and his story taught many lessons about the world and how to act.
