As Princess of Thebes awaits the return of her husband from war, the virtuous bride falls victim to the licentious Zeus and finds herself carrying the great god's child. Born Hercules, the strapping lad is rejected by his mother and loathed by Zeus's wife Hera. Hera abhors Hercules as damnable evidence of her husband's infidelities, yet the demigod has his allies. Unbeknownst to Hercules, Megara and her sons are merely tools of the vengeful Hera, plotting against him and initiating events that lead to banishment from his people. Fearing there is only one way to atone for his sins, Hercules agrees to tasks set forth by Megara's new husband, King Eurystheus. .
