Fresco of Hercules and his wife Deianira meeting the centaur Nessos
From the triclinium (dining room) of the House of the Centaur, Pompeii
Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (inv. 9001)
In this fresco, Hercules - holding his infant son Hyllus - and his wife Deianira, standing in their chariot, meet the centaur Nessos, who bows to Hercules. He offers to transport Deianira across the river on his back, and when he does, he attempts to rape her. Hercules shoots Nessos with an arrow dipped in hydra blood. Before he dies, Nessos tells Deianira that his blood could be made into a potion that would make Hercules remain faithful to his wife. Unfortunately, that blood was infused with the hydra’s poison, and when Deianira spread it on Hercules’ lion skin, it burned him so horribly that he threw himself into a funeral pyre. Deianira hanged herself in grief.
@melampyguss tagging THE Heracles multishipper, perhaps I'll draw him with his wives too to show the diff dynamics
Megara: Theban princess and first wive of Heracles. I couldn't resist making her a little similar to Megara from Disney's Hercules. In a temporary fit of madness( sent by Hera) , Heracles murdered all his sons and possibly Megara too. Hc time: I prefer the version of the myth where he serves his cousin and completes the 12 labors as a way to atone for what he did to Megara and their children. Meg would be his first love, perhaps he would be a bit more timid and naive as this was his first marriage and they would be pretty content. For angst reasons I like the version where megara isn't actually killed along with the kids and later on marries heracles nephew ioalus-> what if heracles left her unconscious and thought she was dead in his shock?? Finding out later that she's alive and having to face her🤌🤌 anyways he'll always have love for her in his heart and always feel guilt for what he did but would want her to move on
Omphale: queen of Lydia and Heracles' second wife. He was by the command of the Delphic Oracle Xenoclea, remanded as a slave to Omphale for the period of a year, during which they would exchange clothes (omphale wearing his lion mane and Heracles wearing women clothes). After a while Omphale freed him and they got married. Hcs: I think Herackes would unexpectedly develop a bond with Omphale and genuinely enjoy himself staying in her palace and would treasure their time together ( even if it was different than he would expect = wearing feminine clothing etc) . He would eventually leave to continue his labors and his heroic journey.
Dianeira: a calydonian princess , Heracles third wife and unwitting murderer. In Sophocles' account of Deianira's marriage, she was courted by the river god Achelous, but was saved from having to marry him by Heracles, who defeated Achelous in a wrestling contest for her hand in marriage.
A wild centaur named Nessus attempted to kidnap or rape Deianira as he was ferrying her across the river Euenos, but she was rescued by Heracles, who shot the centaur with an arrow laced with the venom of the Hydra. As he lay dying, Nessus persuaded Deianira to take a sample of his blood, claiming that, when mixed with his semen, it would create a love potion that would ensure Heracles would never again be unfaithful.
When Heracles fell in love with the younger and more beautiful Iole, Deianira, fearing that she would lose her husband, decided to use the potion. She soaked a tunic or shirt (perhaps Heracles' famous lionskin shirt) in the potion. When Heracles put on the shirt, the venom from the very arrow he had used to kill Nessus began to burn and eat away at his skin. Realizing what she had done Dianeira took her own life out of guilt.
Hcs: I think she would be much younger than Heracles, who at this point in his life would have matured more and completed all this labors. She would be pretty naive and gullible but would genuinely care for Heracles as would he for her.
Hebe: daughter of zeus and hera , cupbearer of the Gods and Heracles 4th and final wife( at last!!!) . Hera would finally reconcile with Heracles because of her daughter and they would be very very happy :)) hebe would still like to know more about his previous wives and there definitely would be rough patches (especially about his past with her mom) but they work it out

Deianira, Deïanira, or Deianeira, also known as Dejanira, is a Calydonian princess in Greek mythology whose name translates as "man-destroyer"or "destroyer of her husband". She was the wife of Heracles and, in late Classical accounts, his unwitting murderer, killing him with the poisoned Shirt of Nessus.
Connections between the rite of punishment and specific aspects of the Danaid legend belong essentially to the domain of creative literature. Most commonly, here, the women are represented as undergoing punishment for the crime of murdering their husbands. In Tibullus, however, their crime is a violation of the ”law of nature” i.e. refusal to marry (…. Veneris quod numina laesit….1,3,79). The poets who avail themselves of the Danaid legend are not interested in the mystic associations of the water-carrying ordeal. They treat the motif as a colorful tale, probably a welcome relief from the overworked images of Tantalus, Sisyphus and Ixion. They knew the Danaids as ”the impious in Hades” and merely connected their punishment with their familiar deed. Nevertheless one poet still recalled the ordeal not as an eternal punishment but as a rite of purification. In Seneca’s Hercules Oetaeus, Deianira calls upon herself the tortures of hell, including the ordeal of the Danaids; Deianira wants to take up the empty place of Hypermestra (vacat una Danais, has ego explebo vices, 948) in order to purify herself: Defendar illic; inferi absolvent ream, a me ipsa damnor; purget has Pluton manus. 934-35.
