    About this series

    When the goddess Hera - wife of Zeus - discovers her husband's mortal son, Hercules, she vows to destroy him.

    Thus begins Hercules's legendary and epic journey, in which he is forced to take on a series of seemingly impossible tasks. He battles an array of both amazing and terrifying beasts, including the mighty Cretan Bull, the many-headed Hydra, the ferocious Nemean Lion, and the three-headed guardian of hell, Cerberus.

    With the help of the gods Athena and Apollo, can Hercules triumph in the end?
