** So after he was killed in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', he went to the Underworld, and Hades sent him back to earth as the Nemean Lion to try to kill Hercules? That's a fic that deserves to be written!

This discovery would halve made Demetrius and his friends at the marketplace snapped, and halve Hercules and his adoptive parents Amphitryon and Alcmene beheaded by the Greek soldiers for committing high treason. However, Zeuz would halve stepped in and saved his son and his adoptive parents from being executed, and ether Banished Demetrius, Ithicles, and the others from Greece, or smite them with his thunderbolts.

...in which Hera would have been the main antagonist, there would've been more of a focus on the Twelve Labors, and it either wouldn't have had musical numbers or, if it did, they would be more along the lines of those found in its Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon predecessor, ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''.

[[WMG: Hades used the souls under his jurisdiction to make the mortality potion, which took quite a lot of time and HumanResources.]]
It'd explain the inanimate skeletons in the dungeon where it's found, where all those lost souls ''go'' once they reach the end of the Styx's soul vortex, and why he never tried to make more of it.

* In the seriers because Meg appears as NewTransferStudent at Herc's school but this can explained as her staying the same age physically. When you work for Lord of the Dead, that sort of thing can happen.

Consider this: in the original myths, Typhon was one of the few monsters that scares Zeus, and Ares' two minions, Phobos and Daemos, were repurposed into [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Pain and Panic]]. The inner mythology buff would have loved the film even more if this is how it ended up - Typhon could be the biggest example of Nightmare Fuel in a Disney film since [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Ursula]], and it would have been fucking metal.

There's nothing ''wrong'' with this age difference. On the contrary, it's refreshing to see a couple in a Hollywood movie who's age difference goes this way, instead of the usual older guy/younger woman pairing.

[[WMG: The cyclops was Arges]]
Hades referred to the cyclops as "Bright Eye," which is basically the character's accepted name as a result. The name of Arges, one of the elder cyclops and son of Kronos, means "bright." Simple as.

Historically speaking, the Ancient Greeks didn't like Hades because he was the God of the Dead, and [[CaptainObvious the Ancient Greeks didn't like death]]. Perhaps Hades got fed up with the gloom and unpopularity?

[[WMG: Megara is the Bas...ahem...'Natural Daughter' of the King of Thebes]]
Just an attempt to reconcile Mythology!Meg with Disney!Meg.

From what can be gathered of her past in the film, Meg seems to be a character who's really been through the wringer. Her lover's betrayal may be one thing, but everything about Meg suggests a woman who's world-wearing. What's more, nothing in the film suggests that she's a princess - when she runs through the streets, crying about a rockslide, not one person seems to recognize her. This doesn't read like the character of a wealthy, cushioned member of the royal family.

As it transpires, the King of Thebes, Creon, is Meg's father, but Queen Eurydice is not her mother. Oh, the pair have true-born children, sure, but if Greek Mythology tells us anything, people had hard times staying faithful. This troper can see, for example, one of Eurydice's handmaidens catching Creon's eye.

Of course, once Creon learned that the handmaiden was with child, he couldn't have that. Setting the poor woman up with a home and just enough wealth to get her back on her feet, Creon banished her from his household. Meg was born just months later, a daughter Creon has made no effort to raise.

* This would make a fair bit of sense as the Greeks were fond of prophecies that fulfilled themselves as punishment for trying to defy the Gods. Mortals only had the smallest say in steering themselves to their destiny.
