His father was Zeus. The Zeus.
6
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:01,145
King of the gods.
7
00:01:04,565 --> 00:01:08,490
His mother, Alcmene, a mortal woman.
8
00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:12,198
Together, they had a boy.
9
00:01:12,864 --> 00:01:14,161
Half human,
10
00:01:14,866 --> 00:01:16,664
half god.
11
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:24,589
But Zeus' queen, Hera,
saw this bastard child as an insult,
12
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:27,888
a living reminder of
her husband's infidelity.
13
00:01:28,755 --> 00:01:31,383
Alcmene named the boy Hercules,
14
00:01:31,466 --> 00:01:33,639
which means "glory of Hera,"
15
00:01:33,885 --> 00:01:36,729
but this failed to appease the goddess.
16
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:39,733

Luckily, he took after his father.
21

Once he reached manhood,
22
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:08,546
the gods commanded him
to perform Twelve Labors,
23
00:02:08,712 --> 00:02:11,261
twelve dangerous missions.
24
00:02:11,423 --> 00:02:13,926
If he completed them all and survived,
25
00:02:14,092 --> 00:02:16,891
Hera agreed to finally
let him live in peace.

was the Nemean Lion.

before I was so rudely interrupted,

Yet, he still destroyed it.

I was well protected.
182
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:55,067
Ah.
183
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:58,362
The mighty Hercules. An honor.
184
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:02,540
Though not quite as big an honor
as I expected.
185
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,328
General, go tell my father
Hercules is here.
186
00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:13,630
Uncle? Hera. Impressive.
187
00:13:14,168 --> 00:13:15,420
It's meant to be.
188
00:13:15,586 --> 00:13:18,965
It took five years and a thousand men
to build her temple.
189
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:21,385
Hera is the patron goddess of Thrace.
190
00:13:21,551 --> 00:13:25,852
Everyone knows the legend,
how Hera seeks to destroy Hercules.
191
00:13:26,014 --> 00:13:29,393
Perhaps the right cause
might finally reconcile you.
192
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,856

194
00:13:35,857 --> 00:13:38,280
- You're Hercules.
- That's right.
195
00:13:38,443 --> 00:13:40,741
My name is Arius.
I know all your Labors by heart.
196
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:43,865
You killed the giant Geryon
with a single blow,
197
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:45,746
cleaned the Augean stables
in one night.
198
00:13:45,908 --> 00:13:46,875
Hercules is probably tired.
199
00:13:46,951 --> 00:13:48,703
And the Labor of the Hide,
and the Labor of the Mares.
200
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:50,413
- That's enough, Arius. Come along.

Men who deal in violence
attract violence.
203
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:58,512
But he's Hercules. He's no mere mortal.
He's the greatest!
204
00:14:01,466 --> 00:14:03,434
Lord Cotys will see you now.
205
00:14:10,558 --> 00:14:12,652
Have you ever met royalty, Hercules?
206
00:14:13,561 --> 00:14:15,655
Once or twice.

this is what Elysium must look like.

Magnificent, aren't they?
218
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:14,498
Well, do not keep us in suspense.
Are we safe from the monster Hydra?
219

The Hydra's heads, Your Majesty.

The masks of serpents.

00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,603
No wonder men thought
they were monsters.

You've done your sovereign
a great service. Come.
223

A man faced with such adoration

Welcome.

An honor to host such a legend.

Lord Cotys.
236
00:16:43,085 --> 00:16:45,429
But in legend, you fight alone.

without my comrades.

Amphiaraus?
244
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:12,114
The famed seer of Argos.
245
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:15,539
It is said you have glimpsed
your own death,
246
00:17:15,618 --> 00:17:19,293
so you fight each battle knowing that
it is not yet your time to die.

What else can you tell of the future?

It would have been a great gift
to know the outcome of this war.

COTYS: When the kings of yesteryear
built this citadel,
259
00:18:02,248 --> 00:18:05,343
it was intended as
the high seat of all Thrace.
260
00:18:05,835 --> 00:18:08,805
But now Thrace is divided.
261
00:18:08,963 --> 00:18:10,761
This war has depleted our forces.
262

We're left with nothing but farmers
and merchants to replenish our army.
263
00:18:14,719 --> 00:18:16,767
It takes every one of us
to resist Rhesus.
264
00:18:17,179 --> 00:18:20,274
People think that he cannot be killed
by an ordinary mortal.
265
00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:22,398
Only by a god.
266
00:18:23,561 --> 00:18:25,438
Rhesus is a sorcerer.
267
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:29,067
His magic words confuse men,
bend them to his will.
268
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:32,825
He leads an army of monsters,
half horse, half human.

Let me show you what misery
Rhesus has brought us.

Every week, more refugees arrive
seeking my protection,

most of them covered in blood,
crippled or burnt by Rhesus' men.

I feared nothing could ever
be good again, till you arrived.

How we view ourselves
is of little consequence.

How others perceive us is important.
279

And your name, like it or not,

00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:20,293
is a rallying cry.

00:19:26,624 --> 00:19:30,128
I have seen too much reality
to trust in legends, and I am not alone.

I see. And who's more convincing,
Cotys or his daughter?

All the gold on Earth is not
as convincing as a pair of breasts.
290
00:20:07,289 --> 00:20:09,542
Maybe, but gold never ages.
291
00:20:09,625 --> 00:20:11,923

I got them to double our price.

Yes, sir.

nothing can ever defeat it!
323
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:55,615
You must learn to work together,

then there will be a bloodbath.

he was more animal than human.

Uh, that's a bit exaggerated.

Many of our physicians
were killed during battle.

So, out of necessity,
I taught myself the art of healing.

If I could be like you,

642

He made me vow
to keep the world away from him.

never harm innocents again.

I'm soon to discover
there truly is a heaven or a hell.

And I will show you.
1084
01:27:24,322 --> 01:27:25,574

No! He's your grandson!
