In Greek mythology, Heracles became an Olympian god after marrying Hebe.
Heracles, known as Hercules in Roman tradition, was the son of Zeus and the mortal woman Alcmene. His extraordinary strength and the famous Twelve Labors made him one of the best-known heroes of Greek mythology. After his mortal life ended, his body was taken to Olympus and he was granted immortality.
On Olympus, Heracles married Hebe, the goddess of youth and daughter of Zeus and Hera. This marriage connected the newly deified hero to the ruling divine family and marked his full acceptance among the gods.
Heracles is often confused with Perseus, another son of Zeus who remained a hero rather than becoming an Olympian god. The Twelve Labors were imposed on Heracles as penance and were not originally a set of tasks performed for the Olympian gods as a group.
