lol I'm glad Im not the only one who thinks so. THough if you take the time period into play they'[re obviously young but going with it was Disney making a movie in modern society I'm sure they are older. At least Meg is, Herc has a very childlike quality

Verrrrrry interesting question! For me, its hard to say. I should think either: a) older than Herc, based on her looks b) she could be the same age as Herc, but LOOKS older, due to her makeup, way of dress, life experiences etc c) she could even be a bit younger than Herc, but again, looks older These days, i find its hard to guess a person's age, esp as many people dont look their age anymore. heh. Ive met some people who are younger than me, but look older than me.

I think Meg is a little older then Herc. I don't know why but when I watch the movies from the way she acts and views things always made me think she was older.

I think she's around 18-19. Herc is probably 20-21, in my opinion.

How many of you have watched „Hercules” more than once?! The fates said the final battle would take place in 18th birthday. What about Meg. If you have any opinion, please, give any arguments to that. I’m sere Meg could be even 26. Why? - Heracles was 20 when she was married to her. She was about 30 that time. I cannot find the right quotation from the mythology now, but we could easily deduce it. She was the oldest daughter of Kreon the king of Thebes. If he was a king his father must have been the first child and his father must have already died. People in ancient Greece was living about 60-70 years. Kreon had to be not younger than 40 while getting the crown, and he had been having it for years before Megara’s wedding. The first child was usually born in the age of 20, so her age would be 20 + amount of years during Kreon had been already ruling. - As you already noticed Meg calls Herc “junior” - The movie is based on nowadays mentality so Meg had to be at least 17 while starting dating with her previous guy( not younger. Look at her shadow’s shape when Hades is talking about her story). To built so strong relationship to be ready to sacrifice yourself for the other, she would need at least two or three years. Then we have a quote ‘ instead of subtracting two years from your sentence , I’m gonna add to on ‘. It suggest that her punishment was not like one or two years but at least 12 or 15 (if not Hades would lose too much subtracting her two years). What’s more her desire to be free is important. It was so strong that see agreed to hurt Herc to get the freedom. That suggest that she hadn’t been free for a long time. At least a few years, for example 5 to 7 (it must be definitely longer than two). So we have 17 + 3 + 6. It gives us 26

I think she's older. But probably not by much, maybe 2 to 4 years.

It just seems weird. But I guess I can't talk. I'm a bit older than my boyfriend.

I know Meg and Herc's 18. Cause like the fates said in 18 years right? And probably Meg's like 18 when Herc is too. I mean like Herc was born 18 years ago from when he met Meg, So they're both 18.

And I think it doesn't really base on how they act. I mean Meg's adult-ish but that doesn't conclude she's older than Herc right? Some adults are child like too.
