I wonder what Heracles and Alcmene’s relationship is like, obviously she loves him as well was her grandchildren but at the same time… she attempted to expose him, while exposure wasn’t considered evil back then it still meant she valued Iphicles over Heracles, at least at the time. Her legitimate child that she had willingly vs the child she had through rape.

It also makes me think about the reason for the rape itself, Zeus didn’t impregnate her out of lust but out of power bc he wanted a son to “rule those around him” and become king, and bc Alcmene is from Mycenae, one of Hera’s favorite cities, it’s particularly insulting for her, so of course she’d intervene and cause Alcmene so much suffering.

So in a twisted way, Heracles not becoming a king is doing Amphitryon and Alcmene a favor, Amphitryon doesn’t have to answer to the son of the god who cucked him and raped his wife (there is even a version where he was the one to put snakes on baby Heracles to see if he’s his child), Alcmene’s rapist fails on what he sets out to do when he used her body without her consent, so there is a small victory there for her, tho knowing that your child could’ve been king but was instead forced to go on all these labors and leave home years on end probably cancels that out.

There’s also the fact that Heracles and Hera became besties even after everything she put his mother through.
