Previous / Next
Episode 41: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone
Hercules clashes with a new cadet named Theseus, which starts out as a rivalry and ends up as a battle for survival when Theseus challenges Herc to a chariot race. The problem is the race takes place next to the area known as the Forbidden Zone, where mortals go in but don't come out, and its next victims may be Herc, Theseus, and Iolaus.
Episode 43: The Beasts Beneath
Hercules, Iolaus, Lilith, Theseus, and fellow cadet Marco find themselves trapped in a large area of sand known as the Dune Sea. It's known as forbidden, and for a reason too, since it is inhabited by sand sharks who hunt anyone foolish enough to enter the area. Of the five cadets who entered, one will not leave.
