Momalus

Momalus is a minor character of the Disney animated series, Hercules. She is the mother of Icarus and is the owner of a successful pottery making business.

Background
Momalus was married to Daedaulus and they later had a son, Icarus. Momalus began making pottery, originally starting as a small business and crafting from her home. Eventually, her pottery business became very successful and she now owns six different factories all across Greece. At some point, however, years before the start of the series, Momalus and Daedaulus ended their marriage and they divorced with Momalus moving away to Ithaca while Icarus and Daedaulus remained in Athens. Despite her divorce, Momalus remains on good terms with Daedaulus and continues to maintain a very close relationship with Icarus who spends every summer working closely with her.

Role in the series
In "Hercules and the Green-Eyed Monster", Momalus makes her debut when Icarus comes to visit her in Ithaca and introduces her to his best friend, Hercules. Icarus comes to inform his mother that his father is dating his teacher, Miss Thespis. Icarus expects his mother to be heartbroken, but is surprised to find his mother is actually very happy for his father and is supportive of his new romantic relationship. Icarus is upset by this development as he is unable to accept his parents divorce. Momalus comforts her son, understanding it's difficult for him with his parents apart, but assures Icarus they both love him and encourages Icarus to give his father a chance for happiness.
