Megara (Hercules)
Last Updated on: August 14th, 2022
Who is Megara?
Megara, often called “Meg,” is a key character in Disney’s Hercules (1997). She is a sharp-witted, independent, and sarcastic young woman who stands apart from traditional Disney heroines with her complex backstory and edgy personality.
Initially introduced as a servant of Hades, the god of the Underworld, Meg is tasked with aiding Hades in his scheme to defeat Hercules, the film’s titular hero. However, her motivations are rooted in her tragic past—she sold her soul to Hades to save a former lover, only to be betrayed by him.
As the story unfolds, Meg’s cynical exterior is challenged by her growing feelings for Hercules, who shows her genuine kindness and heroism. Her famous song, “I Won’t Say (I’m in Love),” encapsulates her inner struggle to trust love again. Ultimately, Meg redeems herself by sacrificing her life to save Hercules, proving her selflessness and love. Hercules, in turn, rescues her from the Underworld, cementing their happy ending.
Megara’s character is brought to life by the talented Susan Egan, whose distinctive voice and acting gave Meg her unique blend of sass, vulnerability, and charm. Egan also originated the role of Belle in Broadway’s Beauty and the Beast, showcasing her versatility as a performer.
