Best Answer

Heracles (Hercules is the Roman name for the Greek Heracles, by the way) wasn't really enemies with Hades. In the Disney film Hercules, Hades is painted as his archnemesis, but in the myths, that position was filled more by Hera. She was angered by Zeus' infidelity (Heracles was the son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene) and took it out on Heracles. She designed the famously difficult and dangerous Twelve Labors and gave them to Eurystheus so that he could order Heracles to complete them.
