“I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this, have a nice day.” That was a quote from Meg in the movie. She was trying to be independent when she was talking to Hercules.

One cultural difference between the movie and the myth is the family values they have. In the myth Zeus has many wives and the movie depicts him only having one wife. Disney probably did that because the movie was mainly meant for children and that’s why it’s rated G. Also in the myth Heracles killed his children, but in the movie it does not show him having any children at all. They changed it because they did not want kids watching other kids be killed on screen. In the movie Hera loved all of her children, especially hercules. In the myth she did not love her children
