* Odysseus's fellow king Menelaus also got this. He was born into the epically screwed up House of Atreus, descended from Tantalus and with a ''long'' history of members murdering each other in most over-the-top ways they could find. Luckily, Menelaus and his brother Agamemnon actually had a fairly good relationship, and even more luckily, the impossibly-gorgeous Helen of Sparta chose him as her husband (while Agamemnon got with her half-sister Clytemenstra), thus making him king of Sparta... at which point some brat from Troy kidnapped his wife and forced him to spend 10 years fighting a war to get her back. When Troy ''finally'' fell, he and Helen returned home to Sparta and spent the rest of their lives together peacefully- a surprisingly good fate for somebody from his family. Especially compared to Agamemnon, who continued the family tradition of revenge murders by having Clytemnestra kill him immediately after he got back for tricking her into sending their daughter Iphegenia as a HumanSacrifice.

I am a practicing Lutheran [WELS] and most mainstream synods do not have a Universalist form of salvation. All sins are forgiven if one accepts Christ as is under the doctrine of Faith Alone famously formulated by Martin Luther.

** The last part of which really depends on the teachings of one's denomination: Lutherans believe that all have been saved by Christ's sacrifice regardless of any sins, whereas Catholics teach that one must accept salvation and some have to go through Purgatory before their eternal reward.

* Hercules seems to have this misfortune. Before he is even born Hera conspires to make his life as hellish as possible by denying him the kingship Zeus intends for him. He is attacked by snakes as a baby. He is forced to undergo twelve years of harsh labors after killing his family in a Hera-induced rage and has additional torments thrown on by Hera during those years. Everywhere he goes he has to fight monsters or gods. He is often cheated by kings after he fulfills his obligations to them, leading him to seek retribution later. He saves Olympus from a race of giants. Finally, he is betrayed by his second wife, who inadvertently poisons him with hydra blood, leaving him in agonizing pain and having to be burned alive. His crime that started all of this? Being born the son of Zeus. All that waited for him in the underworld? Wandering around wheat fields in the dark for all eternity. The least Zeus could do was elevate him to godhood.
