Top God

Mourning Alcmene's death, Hercules gets a surprise visit from Zeus. On top of that, Zeus makes him a stunning offer to become a full god. Given the many issues between them, Hercules is torn over what to do. Also factoring into his decision is his reminiscing over his previous brush with godhood. Years ago, he took Ambrosia from Apollo – the experience making him rather arrogant, giving him the wrong kind of attention and providing him a new enemy.
