Hercules is a 2005 RHI Entertainment television miniseries that follows the life of Hercules, the legendary Greek hero. It is usually shown on television as a two-part miniseries: the first part documents his early life in Tiryns, as well as his desire for and marriage to the lady Megara; the second part follows the more well-known part of his life, in which he seeks redemption for the madness-induced murder of his family. The series contains Hercules' murder of his family, which is normally not featured in current conceptions of the figure, as well as five of his twelve labors from Greek mythology. The story changes several mythological details, such as having the giant Antaeus as his father, when in Greek mythology his father was Zeus, the king of the gods.
