He does, but Meg's lover ungratefully dumps her for another girl shortly afterward.

Later, a young woman named Megara sells her soul to Hades so that he will return her lover's soul. Pain and Panic, however, tell Hades that Hercules is dead, hoping that he will not find out. Thus Hercules, while mortal, retains his god-like strength and spends his life on Earth. Hercules needs to drink every last drop for it to work, but the last drop is lost. Hades sends his minions, Pain and Panic, to kidnap baby Hercules and give him a potion that would render him mortal, in order to kill him. Upon visiting the Fates, he learns that he could succeed by releasing the Titans in eighteen years, but if Zeus' son, Hercules, is to fight Hades, he will fail. Hades seeks to overthrow Zeus and rule Mount Olympus - in Ancient Greece - the Earth and the rest of creation for himself.
