"In the age of gods there was good and evil, light and darkness. Only Zeus, king of the gods, held the power of Mount Olympus in his hand. From his might came two sons. The first son, Ares, toyed with mankind for sport and pleasure. The second chose honour; searching for his place among mortals. But his path was filled with danger. Only his courage would show him the way. Before the man became the legend, before the legend became the myth, came the greatest adventure of all."
A young Hercules is sent to Cheiron's Academy in Corinth.

NONE
[edit] Background Information
- This movie states Discord's relation to Hercules and Ares as her being their sister (which would also make her the sister of Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis and other children of Zeus).
- Clips of this movie were featured in "Yes, Virginia, There is a Hercules".
- The number of causalities on the (first) quest for the Golden Fleece was previously established in "Hercules on Trial", which aired roughly a month before the movie's release date. (The episode was likely produced sometime after this movie's production, though.)
- Michael Hurst, of course, plays adult Iolaus on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess.
- Kevin Smith and Meighan Desmond are among the few (if not the only) people to play their regular characters in this movie, the TV series, HTLJ and XWP.
- At the end of the movie, Hercules and Iolaus discuss the possibility of facing a three-headed monster. The first monster the duo faced in their first (aired) appearance was the Hydra, which ended up growing three heads during the battle.
