No, Hercules and Ariel are definitely not related (and for the record, neither are King Triton and Hercules, for that matter). Aside from the fact that Hercules is most likely long dead by the time of TLM (which the TV series strongly implies takes place in the mid-1930s) thanks to his decision to stay on as a mortal, another problem is that Triton's grandfather and father are named Neptune and Poseidon, respectively. In actual mythology, Poseidon and Neptune are the exact same entity. That alone is proof that he is not related at all. Besides, have you seen the Hercules TV series? Poseidon and Triton look absolutely nothing like merpeople. They looked more like Gilbert Moss's mutant form if anything.
