Reveal Answer
Correct Answer:
Zeus
Explanation:
In Greek myth, many heroes have a mortal mother and a divine father, which explains their extraordinary traits. Hercules (Heracles) is the son of Zeus and Alcmene, with Zeus fathering him when he approached Alcmene in the guise of her husband. The other listed gods—Poseidon, Hades, and Ares—are not his father, they are different gods in the same pantheon. Therefore, Zeus is the father.
