In her vengeful desire to destroy Hercules, Hera unleashes more terrible beasts upon the kingdom of Mycanae. When the Erymanthean Boar attacks, the young sheepherder, Iolas, tries to be a hero like Hercules. But lacking strength, he fails miserably in his attempt to save his brother and sister from the fearsome boar. It's only Hercules' last minute arrival that prevents disaster. Longing to be a hero, but feeling that he's a failure, Iolas returns to Hercules' side in hopes of learning the secrets that make him a hero. As our twosome confront the deadly ""Horses of Diomedes"" and the giant ""Stymphanian Birds"", Hercules becomes more and more impressed by Iolas' cleverness. But Iolas, convinced that what makes a hero is his strength, cannot see the value in this. In the end, when Hercules is forced to face the ""River God"", and appears to have met his match, Iolas finally understands that every hero has his own unique strength. Using his brains instead of his brawn, Iolas helps Hercules to

Ulysses continues his incredible odyssey as he sails treacherous waters, determined at all costs to get his men back home, and to finally return to his Queen, Penelope and his Kingdom. But his persistence and will are tested beyond endurance when he must fight the terrible ""Cyclops"", journey past the ""Sirens"" (beautiful nymphs whose silvery voices lure sailors to their demise), and encounter the monsters ""Scylla"" and Charybdis"" that threaten to crush his ship and then suck it down to the depths of the sea. But as great as these challenges are, keeping his men from giving up their journey home is Ulysses' biggest challenge of all.

Young Perseus is a demi-god, his mother being mortal, his father being Zeus, king of all the gods. But Zeus being too busy with the affairs of Mount Olympus to pay attention to his mortal son, left Perseus to grow up alone to take care of his mother. Later, the evil King Polydectes, having fallen in love with Perseus' mother, tries to force her to marry him. Perseus tries to stop Polydectes, but the cunning king goads Perseus into proving he is really the son of a god by bringing back the head of the monster Medusa. When Zeus learns of this, he suddenly pays attention to his mortal son, sending the god, Hermes, to talk Perseus out of this futile quest. But Perseus resents his father's help -- he was never there before when Perseus needed him. Determined to defeat Medusa on his own terms, Perseus visits the ""Grey Sisters"", three ghastly witches, who offer him a choice of weapons or wisdom. The rash Perseus takes the weapons and is nearly turned to stone by the snake-haired Medusa. A des

When the evil King Pelias usurps the throne of Jason's father, young Jason is sent to the centaur, Chiron, to learn the ways of a warrior and a leader. After his long training, Jason is finally ready to win his father's throne back. Jason soon discovers that Pelias has ruled with a wicked hand, and that the people rejoice at Jason's return. Seeing Jason as a real threat to his throne, the cunning King reminds Jason that if he fights him there will be much bloodshed -- then offers a way to avoid it. If Jason will travel to the ends of the earth and bring Pelias the ""Golden Fleece"", Pelias will gladly take the valuable prize and step down from his throne. Determined to do what's best for his people, Jason accepts the challenge. Jason recruits the heroes, Hercules, Atalanta, Orpheus and Zetes and Calais (gods of the wind) for his crew, and with the help of the goddess Athena, builds the Argo, the greatest sailing ship ever. But soon the inexperienced Jason's leadership skills are tested t

Persephone, daughter of Demeter (goddess of the harvest), longs to be free of her over-protective mother. When she runs away to find adventure, Persephone stops for a drink beside an ebony pool, unaware that she is being watched by the god, Hades. Hades, having lived his life in dreary darkness, falls instantly in love with this bright and cheery girl who promises to visit the lonely god and bring warmth to his cold heart. While the young goddess teaches Hades to dance, laugh and smile, Demeter, sickened over the loss of her beloved daughter, searches for her in vain, neglecting her harvest and bringing winter to the world. Meanwhile, Hades has fallen desperately in love with Persephone only to discover that she now misses her home and wants to return. But Hades knows what Persephone doesn't -- that if she eats any food of the underworld she will never be able to leave. Coaxed to eat three pomegranate seeds, Persephone becomes trapped in Hades' dark kingdom. But the seeds of love she h

Daedalus, the greatest inventor of the ancient world, designed sailing ships, the wheel, the loom and the plow. But though he was a man of great talent, he was also an ambitious man who sought fame and fortune above all this. His son, Icarus, idolized his father and followed in his shoes, becoming just as talented and just as much of a glory seeker. Blinded by his ambition, Daedalus fails to honor his promises to the goddess, Athena, who helped the inventor become successful. In punishment, the goddess causes the great museum that Daedalus built to crumble to the ground, accidentally killing Talos, Daedalus' apprentice. Blamed for the boy's death, Daedalus is imprisoned. But Icarus helps his father escape to Crete where they hope to once again be appreciated for their talent. King Minos of Crete offers Daedalus and Icarus fame and glory like never before, but in return he demands that the great inventor build him weapons of war. Giving in to temptation, Daedalus agrees, only to see his

After having fought in the Trojan Wars for ten grueling years, the great Ulysses and his men embark on a treacherous journey home. Ulysses is determined to get his men home safely and to return to his beloved Queen, Penelope, and his nearly forgotten kingdom of Ithaca. But the voyage is filled with peril and Ulysses' men, tired and weary, are nearing mutiny when they sight an beautiful but mysterious island. Though Ulysses senses danger, his men insist on hunting for food and soon come upon a hauntingly beautiful palace where all the wild animals are as tame as pets, the dining hall is made of gold, and beautiful nymphs serve every kind of culinary delicacy imaginable. Falling to temptation, the men ignore Ulysses' warnings and indulge in Circe's offerings, only to be turned into pigs by the cunning sorceress -- all part of her plan to lure the great Ulysses into her arms. Desperately searching for his missing crew, Ulysses confronts the alluring Circe and is nearly won over by her. Bu

Atalanta, abandoned as a baby, is raised by bears and becomes the ""wild girl"" protector of the animals. Though she hates man for his hunting ways, when Prince Meleager meets her, for the first time Atalanta begins to see her ""human"" side. But while love is budding between Meleager and Atalanta, Artemis, goddess of the hunt, becomes jealous of this mortal girl who dares to challenge her rule over the hunting grounds of earth. Out of vengeance, Artemis creates the Calydonian Boar, a gigantic metal monster and sends it after Atalanta. The terrible boar wreaks havoc on the kingdom and Prince Meleager and his uncles are sent to kill the monster. When Atalanta tries to help Prince Meleager track the metal boar, the uncles shun her, being just as prejudiced against the uncouth ""wild girl"" as the goddess Artemis. In the end, to Artemis' dismay, it is Meleager, and not Atalanta, who is nearly killed by the boar, leaving the goddess to regret her jealousy. But Meleager survives, and accepting At

The young gods Prometheus and Epimetheus are sent by Zeus to endow Earth with some new creatures. While Epimetheus uses his godly powers to create ""birds"" and ""horses"", Prometheus stumbles upon primitive man. Seeing these intelligent beings toiling against the harsh environment, Prometheus decides to give them the gift of fire so that they can create a great civilization. When Zeus refuses Prometheus' request to give fire, Prometheus disobeys, steals fire from the gods and gives it to man. Using the fire, man begins to flourish. But Zeus finds out that Prometheus disobeyed him and chains the young god to a cliff leaving eagles to peck at his body. Then, to punish man, Zeus creates Pandora and gives her a box that she is never to open.

As a small boy Theseus discovers a long kept secret – that he is the son of the King of Athens, and that on the day that he can lift a great boulder, he will be ready to take his place beside his royal father. Accomplishing the seemingly impossible task, Theseus discovers his father's sword underneath the great rock. With the weapon in hand, he journeys to Athens where he re-unites with his long lost father. But the happy re-union is short-lived when Theseus discovers that his father, having been defeated in war by the evil King Minos of Crete, is being forced to sacrifice seven sons and seven daughters to the half-man, half-bull monster called the Minotaur.

Witnessing this, the young sheepherder, Iolas, who idolizes Hercules, decides to follow him and find out what makes such a great hero tick. But Hercules doesn't consider himself a hero at all.

While Hera rejoices at Hercules sufferings, Iolas longs to help his hero free himself from this dark secret.
