Hercules

Background

Hercules is the mortal son of Zeus.


During the events of Jason and the Argonauts (1963) played by Nigel Green

Hercules arrives at Jason's Olympic Games and automatically earns a spot on the Argo. He is challenged by Hylas and is beaten by him in discus throwing. On the Isle of Bronze, Hercules and Hylas go after a group of goats for food. They find a rectangular building with the name Talos written on it and a large statue on top of it. They enter the building and find it full of treasure. Hercules takes a giant brooch pin, despite the warning of Hylas who reminds him that Jason said not to take anything but food and water. As they leave the building, Talos comes to life and they run away. After the Argo is destroyed by Talos, Hercules helps to try and fight Talos, but refuses to leave the island when Hylas can not be found.
