Show Synopsis:
Hades plots to overthrow his brother Zeus as king of the Greek Gods after he imprisons the Titans beneath the sea and learns that in 18 years, a planetary alignment will lead to their liberation as long as Zeus' newborn son Hercules does not interfere. Hades has Hercules, a god with superhuman strength, kidnapped and given an elixir to sap him of his strength, but when he does not drink every drop of the elixir, he maintains his strength. Instead of dying, Hercules is found by a kind shepherd and his wife and grows up an outcast because of his strength because he does not know how to control it. One day, his parents tell him they found him with a medallion with Zeus' symbol on it, and Hercules goes to the Temple of Zeus, where Zeus reintroduces him to his winged horse Pegasus and tells him to find the hero-trainer Philoctetes. Phil trains Hercules to be a hero and he rescues Megara, who turns out to be Hades' slave. Hades keeps failing to kill Hercules as his reputation grows and Meg begins to develop feelings for him. On the day that Hades is able to summon the Titans, he forces Hercules to give up his strength for Meg's safety, but when Meg dies, his strength returns. Hercules defeats the Titans and jumps into the river Styx to save Meg's soul, making him a true heroic god and immortal.
