Summary:
Presents a much darker and somber tale of the "Son of Zeus." Hated by his Mother Alcmene, High Priestess to Hera and twin brother Iphicles they both unsuccessfully manifest a plot to kill Hercules. They even enlist the aide of his new wife Megara and his three young sons. When their plan fails and results in the deaths of the three children, Hercules is blamed and is banished from the Kingdom. In an attempt to redeem himself he agrees to be tested by his betrayers and undertakes a series of all but impossible tasks, or "Labors."
