    • Quotes

      Ercole: These accursed ropes. They seem to be bewitched. The more I struggle, the tighter they get.

      Ulisse: Then you had better stop struggling.

      Ercole: Stop struggling? Have you gone mad? I am not going to let myself be eaten by a sacred vulture.

    It's Okay
    Well there are a few well done scenes I will grant you, the story is a bit entertaining, acting is fine, costumes standard - overall an okay film. Not my favorite Hercules film but a little entertaining.

    Ulysses/Ulisse has angered the gods, mainly Zeus/Jupiter, by binding the Cyclops. Hercules / Ercole is sent out to find Ulysses and bring him back for justice. Birdmen capture Herc and give him a time, he gets free and continues his search. King Lagos enters the picture and allies Ulysses, although they were once enemies. Herc comes to the rescue and saves Ulysses and it ends with a prayer to Jupiter/Zeus.

    Not the best peplum of the 1960s I've seen, but not the worst.
