So I don't remember the Disney movie (I should totally watch it again sometime) and whether his adoptive parents died or not but didn't Hercules kill Meg and their children in the original mythos?

Yes, I think it was because Hera told Meg he was unfaithful and told her to give him this shirt (?) to put on and when she did he went crazy and killed his family. Disney was horribly inaccurate but that doesn't make it not a good movie, I really enjoyed it.

Wait, that might've been Meg or his second wife, idk
Quote from http://www.ancient.eu/hercules/ : "Hercules married Megara, the daughter of Kreo, King of Thebes, and together they had five children. Hera once more interfered and drove Hercules insane so that he killed his wife and children."
So yeah he killed Meg because Hera drove him mad. The Disney movie, as inaccurate as it is (obviously you can't put this stuff into a children's movie) is still amazing. Sassy Hades is the best Hades. Reminds me of Sassy Gay Friend, such a good show. Too bad they sold out to some soft drink company.

Thing is, I could totally see James Woods doing a voice over of this just because he loves doing the Hades voice.
