This was ancient Greece,

divided into states, each ruled by its own king.

The King of Thebes was Androcles.

The mighty Hercules and his son Hylas

were loyal to this brave ruler.

Off me, I'm the King of Thebes!

Good-natured brawling was a necessity

to keep the young warriors fit and strong,

for wars were always present.

That's enough now, boys.

Come on, we're leaving now.

You big bully!

You, too!

History tells us of the wars.

Legends tell us of an era when the unforeseen perils

of the mystical unknown were always lurking.

This is one of those legends.

- Look there, the sun!

Stop, stop!

Where are you going?

All Greece is bleeding!

Hurry off, fool, cut and clear!

Please, for your life!

- What are you trying to say?

Where do you come from?

- This blood is not from wounds,

but it's fallen from the heavens

with slings and poisonous serpents!

Monstrous powers are now devastating Greece!

In our all cities, the people are fleeing

before the deadly shadow,

which is bringing night without end.

Can't you see?

A rain of blood and fire!

Death and ruin are descending upon the cities of Greece!

From the heavens, from the heavens!

- Where did he go?

What does he mean?

- I don't know.

It must be a sign from the heavens.

Only the prophet Tiresias can tell us what it means.

- He's in Thebes, just come on.

- The gods have spoken.

With thunderbolts, with lightning,

with the winds they have spoken.

But not by menacing or by punishing

but through their life-giving powers

they have spoken.

What have they said, oh wise Tiresias?

- Who knows?

Who can say?

A peril hangs over all our land.

A peril from afar, unknown.

- Who is threatening us?

Who would dare attack the Greeks?

- Evil is upon us.

Forces of unbelievable power.

Out of the West, where few have been

through the straits from which no vessel has returned.

Across unknown seas, beyond the straits

from which no man has yet returned.

From beyond the straits, Tiresias told us,

from beyond the straits, across the great ocean

lies the terrible danger threatening us.

And I say to you, kings of Grecian cities,

that we must attack these evil forces

before they reach our shores.

Attack them and destroy them!

If it were my decision, I would not hesitate

to join my forces with yours,

but it's the council of city which governs my lands,

and is it's difficult for city councils

to ever manage to reach an accord.

Thanks to the gods, I alone command my kingdom.

Androcles is right.

We should attack rather than just defend ourselves.

- Persenophe.

- Yes.

Better?

Better to divide ourselves.

One force attacks, the other defends.

Dear brothers, we didn't come here

to bring up the things which divide us.

We must unite against the enemy that menaces us.

Would you perhaps prefer that we wait here helplessly

for the moment when the enemy will decide to attack?

To destroy all of our cities?

- My soldiers are invincible,

and my navy big enough to transport them anywhere.

- Persenophe.

Naturally, we're not so foolish

as to abandon my city.

Watch Androcles, look at the outlines of Greece

over on the map, and remember confines of my own land.

I swear by all the gods on high

that no enemy would ever pass them.

Hit!

Look there, ha!

Did you think I'd been impressed

by such a childish spectacle?

You're mistaken!

Even a king can court misfortune if he's too intriguing.

May I point out to you, the tribute money

for the last war is still waiting to be paid?

If you think to fill your coffers with my gold

because we're now forced to be allies?

No!

- Alright.

I must go alone, with my own warriors.

Abandoning my kingdom to defend all of yours.

- Have no fear.

I shall see to it that nobody sits upon your throne

during your absence.

Your throne shall be rebuilt

they day you return, Androcles.

- What a waste of a fine throne.

It was carved especially for me in Pyros.

We shall sculpt one far more beautiful

to celebrate your homecoming.

- Mine?

Ours, you mean.

- You'll leave me once again,

and I'm to wait here as before.

- But I didn't say anything.

- No, I know you far too well.

You won't let Androcles go alone.

Why do you men like to chase after glory

instead of remaining by your fireside,

particularly with a loving wife and adoring son

who's too weak to go on your dangerous voyages,

even to confront life?

- And you?

Though judging me so badly, still succeed in loving me.

I've heaped curses on your head many times,

but it seems that the very gods will die, my dear,

before I leave here.

- Deianira, I love you, too.

You know I do.

Yes, and it adds to my suffering.

No, this time I don't want to leave.

I've already made up my mind.

But if I once had any doubts, I don't have anymore.

I refuse to let you suffer for me any longer.

- Is that true?

Do you swear it?

- I swear it by the gods.

The time has come for me to settle down

to a calm and tranquil life, like the rest of the men.

- What do you want?

- Pardon me, Deianira.

I've been waiting for Hercules to let me know

when we can put to sea.

- Leave now if you wish.

Hercules is staying in Thebes.

- What do you mean?

What do we do?

You have to come Hercules, you must!

We can't possibly wait any longer, you know that!

I'm being reasonable, that's why I'm not leaving Thebes.

Here, I have my home, my wife, and my son,

and it's time now that I enjoy them in peace.

He's right, and you, Androcles, I must insist,

you won't get him away from me another time.

- Very well, then.

But I've always been ready to accompany you

wherever you've led, even through the most terrible dangers,

and even though I was afraid.

Well, perhaps Deianira is right.

If I had a beautiful wife and son,

I would think the same way.

Goodbye now, Hercules.

I'll wait for you at the palace.

We must find the finest wine in Pyrrho and drink

to our health and, to my voyage.

Do you think he'll be very mad?

Hm, difficult to say before he wakes up.

No matter, we're miles off shore.

When Papa founds I put a sleeping tab in his wine.

- Hey, he's coming along.

- You take over. - Go on.

If he finds out that I'm here on board,

we're all done for.

- Wait, I'll come with you! - No, you stay here.

- Lovely day, isn't it?

- Yeah, it is.

- How long have we been at sea?

- Got us at sun up.

- And where's your fleet?

Well.

- And where are your warriors?

- I have none.

It's because of that I brought you with us.

- I understand, I understand.

And is this your crew?

- Right.

Galley slaves and cut purses.

- Fine company.

- It's the best I could find.

But, I thought you were the King of Thebes.

Aren't you?

I thought against the soothsayers, the senators,

the commanders of the army.

Aren't you always saying that democracy is-

- Never mind, never mind.

Anyway, I was right to smash the throne wasn't I?

Now, how do you intend to beat the enemy?

Oh, I forgot.

You've got Timotheus.

- No need for irony.

An enemy we've never seen is twice as powerful.

We now have to find out who this enemy is,

from what unknown land he threatens us!

How strong he is!

How brave are his armies?

From where does he tend to attack us?

Hercules, what are you doing?

- I'm sleeping.

- I'm upset.

I'd prefer for him to hit somebody.

Hylas, wake up!

I brought you some food.

- Oh, it's impossible.

I hid down in here in this hole six long days.

I've gotten sea sick in the bargain.

I'm going up.

- Oh, no you don't.

Don't you move!

We're off if Hercules finds you on board.

The only thing he's been asking all these days

is whether you're at home safe and sound.

- Did you tell him I was?

- Don't be silly.

- What else did he say?

- Nothing!

Mostly sleeps.

When he doesn't sleep, he fishes.

- Fishes?

- Fishes.

- Caught many fish?

- None.

- Hercules is sleeping.

Androcles is up the stern and won't bother us.

Don't worry, land isn't that far away.

Just make certain nobody comes down here.

- Move along!

Don't be so slow.

Come on!

- Hey.

The water can't be far off.

The men'll be back soon.

We should leave before the sun goes down.

Look yonder. - Hm?

There, in that direction is a mysterious country.

If we can find it with the aid of the gods,

we can confront the danger that's menacing us.

What's makes you so sure the gods will help us?

- I'll go look for the men now.

I can't believe that rats gnawed those water bags.

Human rats with swords, maybe.

Certainly not the best of men for an enterprise like this.

Sleep well, don't trouble yourself!

I'll wake you just before we go aboard!

We're out of shore, but just stay below.

Just let me see the sky!

- Nothing doing, I've told ya!

It's not time yet for your father to find you're on board!

Once we pass through the straits.

I've had enough, I'm coming out!

- Quiet!

The sailors are coming back!

Leave me alone, you bullies!

You big rats!

Hercules, help!

Hercules, help!

You bullies, don't you!

- Shut up, you little weasel!

Raise the sail!

Quick!

Crank that sail!

On those oars!

- Take your back!

Heave, men, with those oars!

Stroke!

Harder, harder!

Row those oars!

Cave, cave!

Pull!

Stronger, stronger!

- Helius, go to the air.

I think we call for wind in the sea.

Watch that sail!

- Thank you!

- Go harder!

Pull!

Pull!

Stronger!

I don't know why, but wine makes me feel better.

Come here.

Who's going to wait our return?

Unless some passing ship is willing to replace you.

- Maybe that's a good idea.

Hey, Hercules.

- A very good idea.

Even if they are criminals, there is no reason why

they should be sent to their deaths.

- But what about us?

- For us it's different.

We set out on this voyage of our own free will,

well at least you did.

How could the three of us navigate this ship?

- Three?

You mean two of you.

One shall man the sail, the other, the helm.

Don't worry, I'm sure everything will work out wonderfully.

- You get back there.

- He's serious?

- Stay right here.

What else can I do?

- Well, I'm going up now.

Are you crazy?

- We're going to die.

That's not going to please my father.

And maybe I can help Androcles.

- Don't be ridiculous.

Not more than a minute ago, Hercules decided to help us,

you know, with the sail.

- Up ahead!

Go see what it is!

You hold the the pillar!

- Hurry!

Hurry!

- What is this?

- Let go!

I must stop the boat!

Stop!

Starboard!

Starboard!

Starboard!

- What?

- We'll topple 'em!

- Androcles!

Androcles!

Androcles!

Androcles!

- Hercules!

Hercules!

Hercules!

Hercules!

Hercules!

- Oh, omnipotent Zeus.

Oh, Zeus, my father.

Hear my plea.

If Androcles is still alive,

if it is this you wish to tell me,

that means that we might meet again.

Grant it let it be in my power to save him.

Oh, Zeus, my father.

- Kill me.

Kill me, I beg you.

Do not fear, I will not harm you.

Please put an end to this torment.

Kill me.

- Who are you?

What god would persecute you?

- Go away, stranger!

Go away!

- Who has imprisoned you?

- He was a man like you.

But he can be everything, a great serpent, water,

a terrible tempest.

The air that you breathe, the earth that you walk upon.

Go away!

No one knows in what form he will next appear.

Who is the monster who threatened you?

- Proteus.

Watch out!

Save yourself, it's him!

It's Proteus!

- She gives you council.

Go away.

I don't want intruders on my island.

Leave here now, or you'll be dead by nightfall.

- I'm saved!

- Yes, Proteus is dead.

That is his blood.

This rocky cliff, the whole island is Proteus's inception.

He nourished himself on the blood of you and other victims,

but now it is all over.

- You think so?

Because my people left me as a sacrifice

to prevent him from destroying them.

When you killed him, you went against the will of the gods.

- No.

Without the help of the gods, I would never have succeeded

in slaying that monster.

And the gods will help me again.

- There is my country!

Atlantis!

Today is dedicated to Uranus.

The queen is in the temple, sacred ceremony.

- No, no!

My only son, no!

You can't take my son from me!

No, no, no!

And those children are dedicated to Uranus.

They're going to the Mountain of the Dead.

Antinea, forgive me if I interrupted ceremony,

but the mist that protects our island

have vanished as if by magic.

I saw it from the mountain.

It's now my fear Atlantis can be seen by mortal eyes.

- Uranus has abandoned us!

That explains his anger.

Listen!

They're over on the great mountain.

We must sacrifice to Proteus.

- Wait!

Proteus does not need human victims any longer.

- You dare enter here?

Who are you?

- Hercules of Thebes.

My father, the omnipotent Zeus

has guided me here to your land.

- Let him alone!

What mortal has ever dared set foot on this sacred island

of Atlantis before?

What are you doing here?

What foolhardy heathen has led you

to the defy the ire of our god?

- I do not believe in evil gods,

such gods I have been taught to hate.

I combat gods which demand human sacrifices

and slick their fur with human blood.

For this reason I have slain Proteus

and saved the life of a maiden

who was sacrificed to this monster's fury.

- You lie.

- I'm here, mother.

Forgive me.

- Why the silence?

Your daughter is alive,

and yet there is no joy in your eyes.

You have committed the most terrible of sacrilege.

You killed a son of Uranus, Proteus.

And at his death, the myth which has protected Atlantis

for centuries will dissolve.

- What does Atlantis provide

that mortal man must not behold?

For what reason have you come here to Atlantis,

Hercules of Thebes?

I have brought Ismene back to her mother.

And if the gods were as angry as you say,

they never would have allowed me to come this far,

nor help me to destroy Proteus.

Perhaps you are right and we are wrong.

- But-

- If we have committed errors,

we must remedy them and give our thanks to him

who has opened our eyes.

Come, my daughter.

I am happy you have returned.

I can only ask your forgiveness

and render my thanks to him who has saved you.

- It is not me you should thank,

but the fate which has brought me here

in search of a friend.

Fate must have been more concerned

for the well-being of Ismene

than for the well-being of your friend,

sending you here to our shores.

No mortal has ever landed here before.

You are the first.

My friend Androcles vanished at sea during a storm.

I'm convinced he's alive, but he's in danger.

Were he here, I would not hesitate to tell you.

I would go to any lengths to help him

out of gratitude to you

for having saved the life of my daughter.

But now we must celebrate your victory over Proteus.

May it signify good fortune for our land.

You shall be my guest.

You must have only to ask for anything to wish,

and it shall be given to you.

- Oh, mother.

It's as if I have awakened from a nightmare.

I can't bear to think of the terrible end

I was destined for.

You are more beautiful than ever.

And I love you more than ever.

I well understand your feelings,

but had Hercules not saved you as he did,

your fate would have been far less terrible.

- So what are you saying?

Far less terrible?

When I offered you as a sacrifice to Proteus,

it was not for the reason that you think.

Not to satisfy the lust of that accursed monster.

There was no need to sacrifice the daughter of a queen.

You are the daughter of Antinea.

You are my daughter.

If you had to die, it was a far more noble

and fatal reason than that.

- But,

what reason?

Your destiny is bound to mine, Ismene.

Just as mine is bound to my kingdom.

I never told you the truth before

because death and truth have the same meaning for me.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed.

On the day that a daughter of mine

who survives me is written in the sacred books

Atlantis shall be destroyed.

- Mother.

You're not-

- You must die.

- No!

No!

I don't want to die!

I don't want to die!

Don't let them kill me!

No!

- Take her away!

- No, I won't!

- Androcles!

Androcles!

Androcles, wait!

Androcles, why didn't you-

No, it's not possible!

- What is not possible?

- That man!

I saw him myself, it was Androcles.

- Androcles?

I don't understand.

- I don't understand, myself.

I'm sure I saw my friend Androcles, and yet...

- I don't doubt your words.

I suppose you think I've lost my mind.

Even I now seem only to have dreamed it all.

- No.

What you've experienced is quite normal.

Often the desire to see a loved one

creates the illusion of seeing visions.

- Yes, perhaps you're right.

Besides, you are weary from your long journey.

Seeing nothing but death and hardship along the way,

you must try to relax and put your mind at peace

with more pleasant things.

- Hylas, Hylas, wake up!

There are horsemen coming!

- Won't you leave me in peace?

I've been waiting for this for days.

Now, a little sleep.

- Get up, they're coming closer!

One of the men is carrying a girl with them.

It looks like she's a prisoner.

- A girl!

Put her down, and tie her to that stake.

We'll wait here 'til sunset.

- Why wait 'til sunset?

Let's kill her now?

- It's orders of Antinea.

When it's time, we'll throw her from the cliffs

to the rocks below.

Don't you look at me like that.

We're merely obeying your mother.

If it were up to me...

- What are you doing?

Saving the girl, you want to see them kill her?

No, but I don't want to save her by getting killed myself.

- Look out.

- Are there any others?

No, I scared the last one good!

- Quick, the girl!

Courage.

Now don't you be afraid.

We're here to protect you.

- Courage.

- It's no use.

It's no use.

- Why say that?

- Where can I go?

No matter where, it's my fate

that I die now.

Don't be foolish, they were going to kill you.

What kind of people live here?

Unfriendly and somewhat nervous.

If they find me alive, at once they'll kill you, too!

They have possibly already killed the great Hercules.

- Hercules?

Is he far away?

- Do you know him?

- He's my father.

Don't worry now.

If he's here, we're all safe.

We in Greece are more interested in the graces than art,

but in magical apparitions.

What you witness is not magic but nature itself.

Here at Atlantis, we try to subjugate nature

to our own scope.

I'm satisfied with nature as it is.

Savage and gentle at the same time.

Cruel and yet generous.

Perhaps that is because your strength and your courage

make it possible for you not to be afraid

of the mysteries of the universe.

- Why?

Do you fear them?

- Perhaps.

Why are you so anxious to leave?

Remain here with us.

Have you not enjoyed my company?

- I must find Androcles.

I shall have no peace until I discover

what has happened to him.

- Perhaps your friend is dead.

Perhaps his body lies at the bottom of the sea.

I would like to stay here with you Antinea,

but at least for now, it is not possible.

- What a pity.

Tomorrow I shall place at your disposal

the ships so that you may continue your search.

It's only one thing that I ask.

You must promise me that you'll return.

- I shall return.

This, I promise you.

- Androcles.

- I hate you.

I loathe you.

Why did you come to Atlantis?

What do you want of us?

- But what are you saying?

Androcles, you must be mad!

No.

You, you are mad.

If you think are able to combat the force of Atlantis

with the pitiful strength of your muscles,

ah, you may kill me if you wish,

but you'll all be destroyed.

Destroyed by the forces of our queen.

There will be no mercy

for those who attempt to defy our power.

There'll be no hope of escape for you.

- Androcles, listen to me!

No, you listen to me, whoever you are.

You must die.

And with you, all Greeks will perish

as blood rains down and purifies the earth.

The skies will burst into flame to hail our victory,

destroying the temples of your meaningless gods,

and a great god will return to us all, Uranus!

The ruler of all!

- What you way is blasphemy!

- I'm sorry, Hercules.

I did not wish for you-

- Why did you lie to me?

Why didn't you tell me he was here?

- You are too suspicious.

Who know what sinister motives you attribute to acts?

Perhaps you even believe those insane visions

created out of your sick mind.

I believe in what I see and what I hear.

And you can't deny that you've lied to me.

I told you that Androcles is not in Atlantis.

I suppose you think that poor mad man is your friend,

your very best friend

for whom you were willing to leave your home

and sacrifice your life.

- But why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to spare you further grief.

As far as you are concerned, Androcles is dead.

Now, I do not know whether it is better to have pity on him

and let him go on suffering in his madness,

or whether to-

- No!

If you have pitied him up to now,

I beg you to continue to pity him

and to forgive me for having doubted

the sincerity of your feelings.

Take him away, and see that he is well treated.

Do not worry about Androcles.

Perhaps if you decide to stay here,

together we can nurse him back to health.

That is, if you so desire.

Here, drink this wine.

It will put your spirit at rest.

I hope that tomorrow you will have decided to remain here

for as long as you wish, even for the rest of our life.

- There were two strangers.

No one from her would have dared to attack them.

So, only two men managed to overcome 10 of you.

Antinea, send me back with new men.

I assure you this time they won't get away.

I beg you.

I swear it.

Such a thing won't happen again.

- Yes, you're right.

It won't happen again.

- No, no!

Don't put me in the acid!

No, don't kill me!

No, let me go!

Don't kill me!

No, no, no!

Antinea, I've had to imprison Androcles.

In such a state of mind, he could easily be dangerous.

- Dangerous for whom?

- Dangerous for Atlantis.

- I am the Queen of Atlantis.

It is I who decide about life and death.

Open it!

Poor Androcles.

Too fragile for the weight he had to support.

Now somebody else will sit on the throne

that was destined for him.

- Hercules.

Take him to the valley and let him die

like the rest of the weaklings.

And then go find me Ismene and kill her.

Kill her!

He couldn't have escaped through the window!

The bars are intact.

- Where is he?

He can't have disappeared!

Find him if you value your life!

- The soldiers!

We have to get out!

Get, get, get!

- They've got Androcles.

Let's go after them!

- You're mad!

They'll kill you!

I only want to follow them, see where they put him.

Come on!

Here comes some more!

- Did you hurt yourself?

- No. - It's Hercules!

Wait, wait!

Hercules, wait!

Sargent!

- Yes, sir.

Halt.

- You bring us another customer?

- Yes, there he is.

Take him down, and lower him into the pits.

And feed all the rest of them while you're there.

- Hercules!

Hercules!

Here I am!

- May Zeus be praised!

I thought you were swallowed up by the sea

along with that cursed ship.

Well all of us believed that you were drowned, too,

afterwards when Hylas helped me free that girl!

- Hylas?

What is Hylas doing here?

But he was on the ship with us and don't be angry!

Hylas, what are you going to do?

- Hercules, there are too many.

If we were helped by the men in the valley,

we'd be able to finish 'em while they escape.

- Shall we set them free?

- Down there!

There's a barricade.

We got to break it down.

Oh, Hylas, you can't do that by yourself.

Even if you should break through, the guards would hear.

It's better to run, hide ourselves.

If my father finds me here with a girl,

he'll never let me out of the house.

I better do something useful before he gets hold of me.

Then we can hide somewhere.

You get off him!

Hylas!

Here, here, they're breaking down the barricade.

- Hercules!

Look there, the soldiers are coming!

It's Androcles!

Who dared to put him in there?

- May Zeus be praised.

He's alive.

- To the door's gate!

Prisoners are escaping!

Kill every one of 'em!

- The soldiers!

At them!

- Hey!

See these wounds, these open sores that cover our bodies?

It's Antinea who's done this, treating us like animals!

And every day we curse the fates who keep us alive

and that monstrous queen who put us here to starve.

- But why?

What was the meaning of all this?

- To create a new race.

Up there in the Mountain of the Dead is a miraculous rock

which has the power to change all men.

- Change men?

What do you mean?

- I don't know.

I only know that we are doomed.

Every year the guards of Antinea choose the children

destined to be changed by the rock and its powers.

Few resists, others don't.

- Those boys?

That I saw?

- Yes, we were like them

before we were taken to the mountain many years ago.

Look at us now.

We are the few who resisted the rock and its influence.

Those who succumbed have never been seen since.

Many say that they now live in the world

of the supernatural, creatures of evil, invincible.

- I will go to the mountain.

- Better to attack Atlantis!

- No, Hercules is right!

We will never be really free

until we destroy the power of that rock forever.

I will go with you.

Wait for me here, and take care of Androcles.

When I return, we shall decide what to do.

- Yes, father.

- Come along.

- Don't be sad, just wait.

Before long it'll all be over.

We'll go to Greece together.

Life is different there.

And in spring, it's unbelievable.

You just think about all our todays and our tomorrows.

- Stranger, come!

We're going to attack the city!

- Stop!

You're all mad!

You heard the orders from my father!

We all love Hercules, but can't give us orders now!

If you're afraid, you stay here with your father!

- We want our revenge!

Go!

- I must go to stop them!

Look after Androcles and Ismene.

- I'll guard him with my life.

- Hylas!

- There!

There is the source of good and evil for all men!

Look, down there is the fiery rock,

which holds the secret of life or death.

You don't believe me, Hercules.

You think I'm mad!

The suffering has warped my mind, is that it?

But what if it's true?

You can't believe that a piece of rock

can destroy a man as we know him.

You can't believe

that a piece of rock can change bodies as well as minds?

That rock could give us life, Hercules,

but it also brings death.

We're dead men who walk, Hercules.

Unbelievable horrors!

- It was his destiny.

I'm sure he's better off where he is now.

When the light touched that man, he disappeared.

- The rock can also take life.

- Who are you, priest?

There's no sign of years on your face,

nor the passing of time in your eyes.

- In ages past, before Zeus,

your father reigned over the earth and over mankind,

another god, immense and powerful, dominated Olympus.

Uranus!

Betrayed by his own son, Uranus was struck down,

thrust into the great unknown.

The gall which flowed from his hideous wounds

fell upon the seas and sank into the waters.

And though all the earth needed that divine, cleansing rain,

only a few drops fell on Atlantis,

making us the heirs all the powers of Uranus.

And the blood of the god became a rock,

living and vibrant, a rock that gave light and darkness,

good and evil.

Antinea, the queen of the island

was eager to make use of the rock's powers.

Hundreds of years have passed,

ages of evil rituals and murders.

Now, after much searching,

Antinea's found the mystic secrets of Uranus,

and will use them to make herself omnipotent,

destroying all mankind and the gods.

- You are a priest, Zenith.

How can you speak so of death and destruction?

I was the last high priest dedicated to Uranus.

And I still worship here at his sacred shrine.

I'll serve him forever.

Uranus was a just god, not a god of revenge.

If what you say is true, Zenith,

this stone must be destroyed.

It has already caused too much evil.

The blood of Uranus can never be destroyed!

By no one on this earth.

The rock of the god will only lose its power

when touched by force

above and beyond this earth on which we live.

You know the secret of this force, Zenith, tell me.

- I can reveal to only one man

the secret mysteries of the god, but he must show me

that he is stronger than the rock itself.

Take this vow, Hercules, and demonstrate your strength.

- Zeus, father.

Help me.

I do not do this out of pride, this you know.

It is only to cause the hearts of stone

to swell up with pity, to let their eyes fill with tears,

the tears of common humanity.

Do not abandon me in this trial.

- Well done, Hercules of Thebes.

Only the rays of the sun can destroy the rock of Uranus.

When a man can remove that stone,

and a ray of sunlight shines up on the rock,

then we will see the end of the reign of Antinea of Atlantis

and of all its inhabitants.

Thank you Zenith, and have no fear.

I shall succeed in defeating Antinea

without destroying Atlantis or her inhabitants.

With the help of my companions,

I shall put an end to her reign.

Antinea!

Antinea!

Where's my son?

Where's Androcles?

- Have no fear.

Your son is alive, he is safe.

Why didn't you have him killed?

Why did you spare him?

- Because of you, Hercules.

Listen to me.

I could have had your son killed, and with him your friend.

I could have had you killed, too.

Perhaps I should have,

for that is what my people advised me.

But I did not heed their advice.

I wanted to you to live.

I wanted you to live because I love you.

If you will join me in the conquest of the world,

all mankind will recognize me as their queen

and adore you as the one and only god.

Love me, Hercules,

and together we shall reign over men and gods.

And how do you expect to conquer the world?

- These are my soldiers, my men,

against which no force in the world can combat.

Of a supreme race, born of the blood of Uranus.

Pick up that table, Hercules,

and hurl it away if you are able to.

With this new race, I can dominate the world,

and you shall be at my side.

- This is a mad plea, Antinea,

but I shall put an end to the madness.

- Hercules.

- Father!

- Hylas!

And so once again, you have disobeyed me.

Yes, I know, but the slaves wanted to attack the city

and there wasn't any time to stop them.

- Where are the others?

- I don't know.

Timotheus got away with Ismene and Androcles,

but when I tried to join them, I was attacked.

I was hit from behind

by one of those strange men with white hair.

And when I came to, I found myself here.

Maybe they used magic.

Father, look!

- Now, I remember.

Now I know what this room is.

The mist that rose up.

Androcles invoking my help.

This is the room

where Androcles lost his memory and consciousness.

And Antinea means to do the same thing to us!

Look!

You must hurry!

Who's there?

Halt!

That gallery must lead to the temple.

The other ones should lead to the sea.

Go, Hylas, and leave this island.

- And you, father?

I'll join you as soon as I can.

- Father.

Go Hylas, this time you must obey me as a favor I ask.

Take care of your mother.

They've discovered our escape, hurry!

- After him!

- Come on!

- Men of Atlantis, follow me!

- Hey, it's me, Hylas!

Hylas!

I knew it was you all this time.

- It's still me, stupid. - Who are you?

- Where's Ismene? - Captured.

And Androcles with her.

I tried to protect her.

I threw myself on those soldiers

with force like a lion.

I confused them, I must have killed at least 50.

- But Ismene's a prisoner? - Yes.

- Where is she? - Down in that ship.

She and Androcles are to be sacrificed.

They'll set fire to the ship

and let it drift away in the wind.

We've got to get on board that ship.

- What did you say?

- Start yelling! - Right now?

- You heard me, call for help!

Have you lost your mind?

- I told you to start yelling!

- Help, somebody!

Help, he's a lunatic!

Help me, please!

- Keep it up, louder. - Help, I'm a sacrifice!

No, please, somebody!

Save me!

Save me, please save me! - I've got another prisoner!

Raise the sail and go ashore!

But I haven't seen a signal.

I heard the queen's orders, move!

Don't cry, Ismene, your saved now.

- Hylas! - Be quiet, stupid.

And you, yell. - Help!

Help, I'm a ruined man!

Slowly the sun will move, Hercules.

And where shadow has been, bright sunlight will shine.

Go, Hercules!

Leave this island.

The fates have decreed that you shall live.

In a short while, the ship will be aflame

and the waves of the sea, satiated,

will not seek other victims,

and thus they will protect the voyage of our warriors.

- That is the signal.

I'll set the ship afire.

- Watch out! - The throwing, hey!

Who are you?

- Hylas!

- Cut Timotheus loose!

Be quick!

- Look!

Hercules!

You must protect us, mighty Uranus!

Uranus, help me!

- Hercules!

What's going on?

What ship is this?

Where are we bound?

- Don't you remember anything?

- Thought there was a shipwreck.

I fell overboard, I called your name.

There was a bright light shining.

I don't remember any more.

Well then you don't know what you did.

- What?

What did I do?

- You saved all of Thebes!
