Can we still become gods after completing our great deeds?

The ceiling fresco in the Palace of Versailles depicts the scene from Greek mythology where Hercules, after completing his twelve labors, is welcomed by the gods and ascends to heaven to become a god. Approximately 140 gods gathered on Mount Olympus to celebrate Hercules' arrival. François Lemoyne, shortly after completing this magnificent masterpiece, could no longer endure the mental pressure and took his own life in 1737. So was it really the pressure that drove him to suicide? Could it be that he had completed his own great deeds and thus become a deity, thereby escaping the constraints of the physical and objective world? Do you think we can still, like this painter, escape the sufferings of the mortal world after completing our great deeds? #Entertainment#Painting#OilPainting#GreatAchievement#Deity
