English Summary:
A chronicle of the life of the Greek hero who, after killing his three sons must perform six labors to repent.
Hercules is a 2005 RHI Entertainment television miniseries, chronicling the life of the legendary Greek hero, Heracles, called Hercules in this series. It is most often aired on television as a two-part miniseries: the first part documents his early life in Tiryns and his desire and marriage to the lady Megara; the second part follows the more widely-recognised part of his life, in seeking redemption for the madness-induced murder of his family.
The series incorporates Hercules’s murder of his family—usually not included in modern interpretations of the character—and includes five of his twelve labors from Greek mythology. The series alters some of the elements of the myths including placing the giant Antaeus as his father while in Greek myths his father was the king of the gods, Zeus.
Hungarian Summary:
Az áldott gyermek, aki túlszárnyalja a halandókat, minden istenek legyőzője, végül dicsőségben, hatalomban és viharos kalandokban diadalmaskodik. Miután Héra őrületet küld Herkulesre, a hős áldozati állatoknak nézi saját gyermekeit, és a tűzbe veti őket, s velük együtt Iphicles gyermekei közül is kettőt. Mikor magához tér és szörnyű tette tudatára ébred, számkivetésbe vonul, hogy jóvátegye a bűnét. Herkulest száműzik tettéért, és arra kötelezik, hogy menjen el Delphi jósdába, ahol megtudhatja, miként teheti jóvá borzalmas bűnét. Elválasztják feleségétől, Megarától, aki hamarosan férjhez megy. Herkules a jóstól hamarosan megtudja, hogy hat szolgálatot kell tennie egykori feleségének és új férjének: hármat a megölt gyermekekért, és hármat azért a Herkulesért, aki Héroszként meghalt, és embeként született újjá.
