Once upon a time in ancient Troy,

this sacred flame burning bright

meant a maiden was to be sacrificed.

Once each month, a brave group gathered on Troy's beach,

and while most Trojans hid in safety

behind the city walls,

the chosen maiden would be send to the altar rock,

an offering to the sea monster.

Princess Diana,

Petra, her uncle,

now Troy's king, is there, watching like the others,

as the High Priest asks the girl

to fulfill her destiny.

Come child.

The Trojans know too well

that only the sacrifice of a maiden

can appease the Gods.

Only that gift will satisfy the monster's appetite,

keep it at sea, away from the city.

Keep it from devouring the terrorized people.

My heart is heavy,

but it is the will of the Gods.

One single human being must be sacrificed

to save us all from destruction.

The Gods permit us to fight against the sea monster.

Who will do so for your daughter?

I will go.

Oh.

Ortag, may you break the spell which darkens our lives.

No.

G)

Though Troy's law forbids it,

families flee from the city to save their daughters.

But pirates wait offshore,

and those who flee Troy are soon captured.

The fathers and brothers, tortured...

Or made galley slaves.

Mothers and virgin daughters, torn from their men,

are prisoners hidden in the damp black hole below,

and destined now for the slave markets in far-off lanands.

But sailing the same sea is the shipOlympia,

with its crere of strong, free warriors.

Carrying home to Thebes,

Ulysses, son of its King.

Diogenes, philosopher, scientist, skeptic.

And the master ofThe Olympia, Hercules.

Born of a mortal woman,

but fathered Zeus, King of the Gods

Like his mother, Hercules is mortal,

even though his father has given him god-like strength.

As befits a godly gift,

Hercules' strength is used in the cause of justice

to protect the weak, to avenge the wrong.

A sail, off the bow!

Hercules.

- Hercules! - Hercules!

Pull away!

The rope. Hurry.

Look, Diogenes, they're fleeing.

Theyeyl never make it.

RUNTS)

Cut those men loose!

How long have you been locked down there?

Two months.

But mo like an eternity.

Smash their chains, and get them all aboard The Olympia.

And put fire to this ship!

If the wind picks up,

we should be in Troy in less than... No!

Not one of us wants to go back to Troy.

Why? The sea monster.

We'll never let our daughters go back.

a shroud of terroror over Ty for two years.

He's the evil power,

which is destroying the city and its people.

The oceacasts him out each month.

And every month in Troy, another family moans in grief.

And so you all fled the city?

We could never go ck even if,

even if we wanted to.

We're considered traitors at home.

We violated the law by running away.

What law can prevent a man from protecting his own?

The monster is a curse of the Gods.

No one must escape him.

You escaped too many things to the gods my friend.

Hasn't anyone dared to feed your monster a little steel?

Many have tried.

But none of them has returned.

We will go to Troy just the same.

What do you mean? It's simple.

He is impatient to reach Troy,

so he can twist your sea monster's neck.

Is your friend joking?

Yes, he's joking.

But he's also telling you the truth.

I want to free your city from this error.

You know, this ship is like a magnet,

the way it attracts trouble.

Always complaining.

Why didn't you just stay in Thebes, Diogenes?

With that tongue of yours, you would've made a vicious orator.

To tell the truth, my friend,

I don't mind a voyage to Troy right now,

not in the Ist.

You see, I have a wife in Thebes

more menacing than all monsters,

including yours.

e! A man!

Drop sail, we've arrived. We're in Troy.

WithThe Olymyma beached in the bay of Sirens,

Hercules enters the city.

Troy knows his fame,

admires his great deeds.

But he brings with him,

those who had fled from Troy to save themselves,

those who had broken the law

and had left friends behind to face the terror.

So, instead of cheers,

doubt and suspicion welcome him.

I welcome you to our city, Herercules.

We've heard much of your adventures.

You must be young Ulysse

Yes.

His father, the King of Thebes,

entrusted him to my y re.

In the vain hope that he will learn something about life someday.

wit of Dioge

nes.

I welcome Hercules' companions as well.

Thank you.

I'm sorry that your welcome cannot also be extended

to the Trojans we brought back with this.

They violated a painful law, but, I must enforce it.

You see, i'm only temporary ruler of Troy.

In two months, I will surrender the throne

to my niece, Diana.

And the only gift I can make her is an example

of a just government,

especially in times of disaster.

Times will change, Petetra.

The sea monster will take no more victims.

Would you challenge him?

With your permission.

You alone could face the creature.

But are you aware of the danger of the task?

The seabed beneath the altar rock

is white with human bones.

Hercules will vanquish the monster.

He is the son of the Gods, an immortal.

No princess, my life could also end.

But then, one doesn't have to be immortal

to challenge the sea monster.

One of your subjects did so and didn't die. Ortag.

But we saw him snatched by the black claws.

He wasn't killed. We pulled him from the sea.

At this moment, he is aboard our ship, The Olympia in the bay.

Diogenes has no equal as a setter of bones.

In his care, Ortag will recover.

Ortag may have escaped the fatef all the others,

but are you certain you will be as fortunate?

I have the feeling Petra is reluctant

to accept Hercules' help.

If I've given this impression, then I will correct it at once.

I not only desire it,

but I am ready to offer ever assistance possible.

All the world knows the fame

of the two invulnerable horses

that Goddess Minervava gave this city.

Are you ready to offer him these two?

If they can help you, they're yours, of course..

But I fail to understand what use they can be against the monster.

Actually, they're of no use in the sea.

But on dry land, it becomes a different matter.

Then you shall have them.

Let me show them to you.

Fool! No one is allowed to ride those horses.

They're divine and not to be made sportf.

Whoa! Hey, steady, steady, steady.

You disregarded my orders.

Take him away!

Thank you, Hercules.

Forgive this unfortunate incident,

but these horses need all the special care we can ge them.

Even the water they drink must be taken from the grottoes of Minerva.

Yet the temptation to ride them

is often too great for my men.

I must admit to feeling tempted myself, Petra.

I should consider it an honor

for you to ride them, Hercules.

And to make any use of them you wish,

in your fight with the monster.

Then we shall try them soon, together, Ulysses.

They're wonderful.

Here.

You can't hurt them.

Maybe they are invulnerable,

but, when I think that this arrow might penetrate them, I.

Allow me, then.

Diogenes does not believe his own eyes.

Not today, I musconfess.

Please forgive Leander for his rudeness.

Not at all.

There's a great difference between discourtesy and a...

A young man's natural impulse.

A young man in love,

who is rather jealous at seeing you so taken with our guest.

Until this moment,

I dreaded becoming Qen over a city filled with grief,

but, now that you will free Troy of its monster,

I await the day with impatience.

When Petra places my father's crown upon my head,

you alone will be the cause of it, Hercules.

I want you to be with me on that day.

Please remain until then.

That's not a small favor you're asking, Diana.

It would be an honor, Diana.

I accept with pleasure.

Believing the Trojan's friendly, Hercules work with them,

learning all he can, that will help them and him,

defeat the creature from the deep.

All right, Ortag, tell us everything you can remember.

Twen paces long.

Is there any part not t cover?

All like iron.

Flesh, stomach.

You mean, its underbelly is exposed.

Its armor doesn't reach it? Hmm.

This proves how vital it is to lure it out of the water.

Hercules!

Hercules!

He's no longer jealous of you

since you started training someme of his Trojans for the Olympic games.

Leander's a proud man.

We've prepared a special boxing exhibition for the King.

I want you to come to the palace today, Ortag.

People...

Scared.

You have faced up to the monster.

You mustn't be afraid of men.

Are you sure, Hercules?

Botus, are you ready?

For you, if you wish them.

They won't be nececessary.

Remember what we did yesterday, Botus.

He's ideally built for a attack.

All right, Botus, go.

Remember, now,

you dodge by changing the position of your feet.

All right, now, attack,

but keep good as balanced with your body.

It's the blow that doesn't hurt but can humiliate a man, who...

What is it, Botus?

How did it happen?

Poison.

Meant for who, Hercules?

AboardThe Olympia, a plan takes shape.

Here, Diogenes' science and skill are at work,

searching for a way to force the monster to the shore.

Careful.

Don't disturb our noble scientist.

That's how he hopes to get us out of this mess.

I don't hope, my young friend. I'm sure.

Suppose these little powders

don't work against the monster?

They must.

We only have two more days.

The monster's next victim is chosen tomorrow.

And the day after...

Just what is Diogenes trying to get?

A reaction to water.

Yes.

And if I were you, I'd also be concerned

with your own reaction to poison, Hercules.

You're still thinking about Botus, aren't you?

With good reason.

It's obvious he wanted to boast the rest of his life

of having slain Hercules with one blow.

You mouth Petra's words, Ulysses.

But do you really believe him?

Well, I don't.

Now...

It works.

It burns on contact with water.

And just in time, Diogenes.

I don't know why I let Diogenes

talk me into bringing my bow and arrows on a peaceful ride.

Who would attack us?

In no time at all, he's become suspicious of everyone.

I'm not so sure he's wrong.

There they are. The grottoes of Minerva.

Let's water the horses.

Lookok out!

In there.

Get behind me.

Looks like you ran into some trouble.

We were ambushed by a gang of thieves.

Or soldiers, disguised as thieves.

What do you mean, "soldiers"?

Follow my reasoning.

Why make an attempt on Hercules' life?

To prevent him from slaying the monster?

No, he's too despised by everyryone.

Solution,

to prevent him from doing something else he promised to do.

Go on.

Now you said you'd stay in Troy

to see the sea monster killed, and Diana's coronation.

Well, I think someone don't want the crown

to be worn by such a young and pretty head

or the people of Troy freed.

You mean, PePea.

He's plotting to kill her just as he killed King Linus,

his beloved brother.

But her father was killed in a hunting accident.

Now, don't be afraid, we won't harm you.

Who is he? What's he doing here?

I found him on the mountain trail

where King Linus met the Gods three years ago.

Now tell Hercules what you know,

and what you saw,

the way you told me.

I was leading my flock.

I heard hunting horns and d horses galloping.

I saw the King ride away. He was way ahead of the other.

I heard a scream.

had fallen.

Huge crevice.

Everyone knows about the hunting accident.

Accident?

Tell him about that crevice.

Deep.

And it wasn't there the day before.

What do you mean?

There was a violent storm during the night.

That's right. Thunder and lightning.

And Petra blamed a struck of lightning

for opening that hole.

Now, don't you think it odd,

that the lightning knew exactly which way

King Linus was going to ride?

Just as those thieves knew which direction you were takg today?

How can you make an attempt on his life

and still let him take the invulnerable horses?

In order to switch horses, we must get two exactly alike.

We have not been able to find them as yet.

I advise you to find them, Argus,

and as quickly as possible.

It's not possible.

Even if you could prove it, I would not believe it.

If I could do that, I wouldn't have come to you.

I would've gone directly to Petra,

and not just to discuss it.

I knew this would cause you pain, Diana,

but you must know the truth.

But if he wishes to kill me, why wait?

Why hasn't he done so already?

Because the people love you.

Diana, if you were to die accidentally,

someone might wonder who would benefit by your death.

Perhaps the same people who benefited by your father's death.

But,

Petra's been so good to me.

He's so kind and gentle. And cunning.

He wants to strike you down

without the slightest suspicion to himself.

Come Dia, it is time.

The ceremony is about to start.

The princess is to join the procession?

Fate recognizes neither rank nor station.

Destiny guides over our reaction

and will choose one of us, whoever she might be,

Tomorrow you must fight for her,

for our city.

I will stay close to you, Diana.

The mournful horn sounds, and the maidens are summoned.

Each is given a dove byhe High Priest.

The flight of doves will decide the monster's victim.

For all the doves will soar freely in the sky

except one,

the dove of the unlucky maiden chosen by the Gods.

This is the last time

I entrust you to the wings of fate,

for soon you will be Queen.

But today, you are still a young maiden

ready to offer her le for Troy.

I've replaced the invulnerable horses, Petra.

Venus of the white doves,

choose among these young Trojan girls,

the one who to sacrifice herself,

to make amends the mysterious guilt,

which still torments our city.

I have something to ask you, High Priest,

and you'd better speak the truth.

Fate did not choose Diana.

Petra did,

with the help of his High Priest.

And then he had his High Priest murdered.

What is it you wish? That the ceremony be repeated?

That perhaps another maiden must take Diana's place?

No Trojan is willing to face the horror of a fresh choice.

The sea monster is something real,

while you are still nothing but a hope.

That is why you want to send Diana to the altar rock.

You are certain I can never save her.

But you're wrong.

I will slay the monster.

I will slay him tomorrow.

That's right.

I want to see you smile.

I have faith in you.

I will come for you in the morning

and accompany you to the beach myself.

And I want you to believe this...

Tomorrow's ceremony will be the last.

I will await you.

Hercules.

May I join your men?

I cannot stand idly by when you meet the monster tomorrow.

All right, Leander.

I'll expect you aboardThe Olympiaat dawn.

Now go back to her.

Don't let her lose courage.

I want him alive!

The sacred flame is already alight in the brazier.

I must wait for Hercules.

The sun is up, we cannot delay it.

Come, I'm sure we'll find him on the beach.

Why is Hercules so late?

He should've been here by now.

Leander, what are you doing here?

I'm joining you.

But where is Hercules? Well, that's what we'd like to know.

Wasn't he at the palace? No.

They're taking Diana to the reef.

I cannot wait.

We must find Hercules,

I'm sure some something's happened to him.

You know we would give our lives for him.

To rush into the city to seek him?

Why did we prepare all this?

Why did Hercules bring us there to Troy?

Now, ask yourself Ulysses,

what would he want us to do?

I will tell you.

Carry on with what he has started.

Save Diana's life and not his own.

Who will take his place?

I will.

I will do everything in my power to slay the monster.

And we'll help you just as we would've helped Hercules.

All of us.

Ortag, where are you going?

Ortag!

Accept the fate which the Gods have reserved for you.

If it is their will, I am prepared.

Grant me permission to remain beside Diana, to fight for her.

Don't let him, please.

You must. It's my right.

Leander,

may you break the spell which darkens our lives.

I thank you, Leander.

You must help her,

now that Hercules and his men have abandoned her.

Thirsty?

Want some water Hercules?

Very good.

Pour more. Pour.

Thirsty?

Want some water, Hercules?

Wait, that's too easy for him.

Remember, our order were to kill him slowly.

Let's seal him in.

Quickly now, there.

All right, throw!

It's workrking.

Ortag!

Ortag, throw down some dirt.

All right, throw!

Look, it's coming toward us.

Look, it's working. It's coming this way.

Ortag, grab my arm.

I took them.

Pavilion.

No one to watch them.

Quick, the beach!

Hercules! It's Hercules!

Hercules!

St them. Look out, they're riding the invulnerable horses!

No, they're not. They're not the invulnerable ones!

Kill him!

Stop! Stop!

Ortag! No!

No!

Yah! Yah!

I d... special funeral services for Ortag.

Here, where he fell, a pillar should be erected,

dedicated to him and to all young Trojans

who died to free our city.

My coronation day will celebrate your triumph, Hercules,

and that of your companions.

Leander will be byour side.

And our good thoughts will be with you bh.

Each one of my men hasomeone waiting for them in Thebes.

Yes, even Diogenes.

I think by now, even he is ready to go home.

It's about who uncovered the plot

against Hercules in the first place.

No, you, my young friend.

You're always supicious...

If everyone is as fortunate... Fortunate?

But I was the first one... What now?

C! You know what they're always arguing about,

which one of the two served you best.

That's an old problem now. It was my idea.

Maybe we'll be able to solve it the next time.

What do you mean? Aren't we heading straight for Thebes?

We have a long way to go, my friends,

and only the Gods know what's in store for us.

On the long return voyage to Thebes,

other feats await him,

other adventures putting his path by the Gods.

So that Hercules may fulfill his destiny,

as a hero whose legendary strength serves justice to man.
