Question

Based on “ Heracles “ what did the ancient Greeks most likely believe about their gods

Answer 1

Answer:

The ancient Greeks most likely believed that their gods lived by different values than man.

Explanation:

The supposed passage is given as-

Heracles was the son of Zeus, a god, and Alcmene, a mortal. Zeus's wife, Hera, hated the child, who was originally named Alcides, but was renamed Heracles in a failed attempt to appease Hera. Out of jealousy, Hera tried to kill Heracles as an infant. But she failed and Heracles grew to manhood, gifted with supernatural strength. Hera succeeded in driving Heracles insane, causing him to kill his wife and three children, after which Heracles exiled himself in shame.

Based on the passage, we can see that even though Hera, who is a goddess did so many terrible things like attempting to kill an infant. She also made Heracles insane which led him to kill his whole family. Though these acts would be deemed the worse of the worst in human standards, the gods did not seem to think likewise. Instead, nothing happened to her. This shows that the gods and the humans, immortal and mortals, have different values of living.
