Alcmene

Alcmene was the mortal mother of Hercules. She was married to a warrior named, Amphitryon, with whom she had an older son, Iphicles. Zeus visited Alcmene in the form of Amphitryon and they conceived Hercules. Unbeknownst to Alcmene, her husband, Amphitryon, had died the night Hercules was conceived. Most of the villagers believed her to be a harlot having become pregnant while her husband was off and at war. She was unaware it was truly Zeus who had impregnated her until after Hercules was born.

When Hercules turned 18 years-old, Alcmene sent him off to Cheiron's Academy to learn how to defend himself. It was at the academy that Hercules was able to learn the fighting skills which made him into the legendary hero he became. At the Academy, Hercules befriended Iolaus and Jason. Many years later, Alcmene would fall in love with Jason. They were married with Hercules' blessing (HTLJ "The Wedding of Alcmene"). The Duo remained a happy couple until Alcmene's peaceful death from a weak heart (HTLJ "Twilight").

Once, Echidna, grief-stricken at the deaths of her children at Hercules' hands, arranged to have Demetrius pretend to fall in love with Alcmene in order to lure Hercules into a trap. In Demetrius, Alcmene found a cure for her loneliness that she would not find again until she fell in love with Jason (HTLJ "The Mother of All Monsters").

Alcmene revealed to Hercules and Iolaus that she and Jason had had feelings for one another almost since the day that Jason delivered the news that Amphitryon had been killed. When they finally decided to get married many years later they planned a huge wedding in Corinth. The ceremony was interrupted by Hera's Blue Priest who used the opportunity to try to kill Hercules. Luckily, Hercules, Iolaus and the other Argonauts were able to save the day so that the wedding could go forward (HTLJ "The Wedding of Alcmene").
