That night Zeus went to bed with Alcmene and impregnated her. Zeus, disguised as Amphiteryon, came to her and told her stories of how he killed the pirates to avenge her brother’s death. Alcmene’s husband Amphiteryon was out avenging her brother’s death at the hands of pirates. Hercules was the son of Zeus and Alcmene.
