Non-canon
After Hera finds out Zeus has an illegitimate son called Hercules, she sets Hercules 12 labors to complete. The first is to kill the Hydra, which grows two heads for everyone cut off. Hercules defeats it by making it argue over who will rob him. Then he has to clean the Augean Stables, where he convinces a rich Greek that gold is worthless and that dung is valuable. He then deals with the various creatures he is tasked to capture by getting Hermes to send Grecian Spca to catch them as they don't have a license and may be rabid. Hercules then returns to Hera with only 10 of the tasks complete. Hercules decides that that Hera would much better suit Zeus's position and so she takes this role, only to cause havock to those down on Earth.
