Greek Heroes: Hercules

Hercules is incredibly, superhumanly strong - a gift from his father, Zeus, king of the Gods. But the goddess Hera, wife of Zeus, has vowed to destroy her husband's mortal son and casts a spell that throws the hero into a murderous rage. To regain his freedom and atone for his guilt, Hercules undertakes a series of impossible tasks, including battling an array of terrifying beasts. Relying on his mighty strength and the help of sympathetic gods Athena and Apollo, Hercules triumphs in every task, overcoming the beasts of the world, the vengeance of the gods, and his own guilt.
