The Story Of Hercules

One day in a far away land of Olympus, Hercules, the son of Zeus, was strolling through his house and overhears his father say,
“I cannot believe what Prometheus did. Stealing fire! From the gods! Oh, I will punish him. Him, his brother and the whole human race!”
Hercules was in disbelief of what he just heard. He could not believe that Zeus would be so cruel over a small act, one to help the humans!
After the gods left and sent Pandora down to Earth for Epimetheus, Hercules stormed in to talk to his father.
Hercules said,
“How do you plan on punishing Prometheus, Epimetheus, and the humans? They did nothing wrong.”
Zeus replied, “Oh son, you were not supposed to hear that. Prometheus stole from the gods, something we need! And all for the
I thought you were not going to hurt them anymore!”
Zeus replied,
“It was not me that did this. I have no need to make them erupt. You were the one who did this.”
With a shocked look on his face, Hercules says,
“That’s impossible! I did NOT do that! Is this because I didn't agree with your actions?!”
Zeus, shaking his head, told Hercules,
“Oh son, you have finally uncovered your power. It was only a matter of time until this happened.”
Very confused, Hercules's asks what Zeus is talking about.
“Your power...When you get mad your fury is unleashed through the eruptions of volcanoes. When you were younger when you got mad, it was not too terrible to handle so only small eruptions happened. But this time, today, you were excruciatingly mad at me, so it caused huge eruptions to happen all around the world.”
Hercules could not comprehend what he just heard, he didn’t know what to do. He destroyed the one thing he cared about.
Trying to comfort Hercules, Zeus goes,
“It’s okay, you didn’t know this would happen. Now you do, and just have to learn how to control your anger if you don't want to hurt anyone. Here’s the good thing, remember how I gave Pandora a box?”
Still sad, Hercules shook his head.
