They were both a bit of outsiders at Olympos. Both of them 'accidents'. None of them really expected to have been around. Yet they were, and in the beautiful and peril world of the gods, where survival of the fittest was as applicable as in the jungle, the two of them found that they had more in common than being outsiders. And their unexpected love grew strong in the shadows. But did they dare to come forward with it into the light. Did they dare to confront the other gods and say "here we are - and we're in love"? This is the story about Hebe and Herakles. We all know Herakles' labours and how he ascended to Olympos after his heroic life on Earth. There he met and fell in love with Hebe - his old arch enemy Hera's daughter. But how did that happen and what reactions did it trigger among the gods? The myths do not tell, so here is my own try at that story.
