Deianira, Deïanira, or Deianeira also known as Dejanira, is a Calydonian princess in Greek mythology whose name translates as "man-destroyer" or "destroyer of her husband". She was the wife of Heracles and, in late Classical accounts, his unwitting murderer, killing him with the poisoned Shirt of Nessus. She is the main character in Sophocles' play Women of Trachis.

what do you think about Deianira and Megara

Deserve better lol

Also while Disney’s Heracles wasn’t accurate in the slightest I like how it actually gives Megera a personality and character outside of “wife that dies at the beginning of the movie to motivate the hero”. Very few adaptations bother.

Főhősnőnk megérkezett az első fejezetben a palotába, ahol 25 évvel ezelőtt élt. A kertben álló platánfa pedig az égbe magasodva őrizte a palota falait, míg Deianira vissza nem tér.

A Thought About Deianira

When I first read that Deianira’s name literally means “husband destroyer” I thought, what are the odds they named her that coincidently? As a matter of fact, what kind of parents would name their daughter that in the first place? Then it occurred to me: what if it was a deliberate warning?

Now, hear me out: in some versions Deianira’s father is a king who was taught wine stuff by Dionysus, while in others she is the daughter of the god himself. If the latter is true, then Deianira would not only be one of a small number of his children not with his wife (Ariadne) or another goddess(Aphrodite), but also his only documented daughter (unless we count the Graces, who are often attributed a different father).

Dionysus, of course, has seen many horrible things happen to the women in his life, especially due to their love life*- not to mention his children stand to be struck by Harmonia’s curse as part of her line through him. So, what’s a father to do without interfering too directly?

Perhaps, preemptively curse any man who deceives or abandons her to death soon after?

Heracles would have married her knowing this, but grown overconfident, feeling untouchable after his many great feats and attempting to leave Deianira for another. The looming threat of death if they didn’t reconcile could also account for Deianira being desperate enough to try using the “love potion” that ironically caused her husband’s death itself!

*Harmonia, though not through Cadmus himself, but rather because of him

Semele, even if Zeus didn’t mean to

At least one of his foster mothers, depending on which version we’re going with

Ariadne (wtf Theseus, you also did this to an Amazonian queen..)
