1. HERAKLES

2. BIRTH
Born as the child of Zeus and Alkmena, great granddaughter of Perseus.
Zeus tricks her by disguising himself as her husband. In the same night her husband also mates with her. For this reason Herakles is semi-divine; he has both a mortal and immortal father.
Hera tries to prevent his birth by delaying it for 7 days.
Hera sends 2 snakes to his cradle; he kills them.

3. YOUTH He is taught wrestling by Autolykos.
He is taught archery by Eurytos. This is somewhat strange since the Greeks viewed bows and arrows as primitive and unmanly weapons.
He is taught fighting with arms by Castor and Pollux.
He is taught the lyre by Linus, the brother of Orpheus. He kills Linus with the lyre out of frustration/temper.

4. He marries Megara, the daughter of the king of Thebes.
ADULTHOOD

While performing a sacrifice to his father Zeus, he asks his wife to send a clean cloak. She sends one soaked in the blood of one of his enemies killed by poisoned Hydra-arrows.
The poison eats his flesh.

33. A passing shepherd burns him on a funeral pyre; he has become the sacrifice to Zeus.
That shepherd uses his bow and arrow and uses it in the Trojan War.
When the fires goes out, there is only armour, no body, no bones.
He lives on Olympus, married to Hebe.
