After Zeus fights and sends the Titans
to the underworld, he becomes the ruler of Mount Olympus, home of all greek
gods. Hades is sent to rule the underworld, but he makes plans to throw
Zeus out of Mount Olympus with the Titans' help. The three Fates warn him
that his plans would be endangered if Hercules, Zeus newborn child, is
still around by the time he tries to take over Mount Olympus. Hades sends
Pain and Panic to turn Hercules into a mortal and kill him, but they fail
in their attempt and leave him on earth with his divine strength to be
raised as a human. Hercules grows up but later learns he is the son of
gods, and in order to return to Mt. Olympus he must turn into a "true hero".
He is trained by Phil the satyr and becomes the most famous hero in ancient
Greece after battling monsters of all kinds. He even saves Mt. Olympus
from Hade's take-over, but he only becomes a god again after he offers
to exchange his life in order to save Meg, his love, from Hades' underworld
and shows that a true hero must have a strong heart and not only physical
strength.
