Storyline

In this melange of characters and events from separate mythological stories, Hercules, demigod and superman, arrives in the ancient Greek kingdom of Iolcus to tutor Iphitus, son of king Pelias; immediately on arrival, he falls in love with the king's delectable, briefly clad daughter Iole. Before he can win her, he must succeed in a series of quests, in the course of which he teams up with Jason, true heir of Iolcus, whom he accompanies on the famous voyage of the Argonauts. Written by Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

Eurysteus: Hercules was Chiron's close friend. He hasn't forgotten what's happened to him.
Pelias, King of Iolcus: That took place years ago.
Eurysteus: Hercules is honest. And honesty always finds the trust, even after many years. His purpose for coming here is to clear Chiron's name.
