Hercules/Herkales

It would of been tough for Disney to use the actual stories and mythology into this film because it was made for children and most of the actual mythology wouldn't be appropriate. Things such as hercules killing his wife and children are some of the things that wouldn't of been allowed into the movie. They did, however, bring in actual mythology such as his superior strength and the three-headed dog did make an appearance in the film. Also, the Muse's at the beginning did talk about some of the background mythology that contributes to the true story of hercules. So I do think that Disney did a good job of what they were allowed to bring into the film to make it somewhat mythological for the children that was their audience.
