Tempting Fate | |
| Get to Work, Hercules! / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Hercules remarks that Labor IX, borrowing Queen Hippolyta's girdle, sounds very easy. He doesn't expect Hera to frame him of kidnapping the queen, invoking the wrath of her Amazonian subjects. | |

Adaptational Consent | |
| Get to Work, Hercules! / int_47a0a3b7 | comment |
Adaptational Consent: Instead of having Zeus impersonate Alcmene's husband Amphytrion and impregnate her with Hercules under these circumstances, Alcmene is a princess who knowingly married Zeus before she became pregnant with Hercules, then marries Amphytrion later on. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Get to Work, Hercules! / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Hades tries to help protect Alcmene's and Zeus' son from Hera's jealousy by giving him a name meaning, "For the glory of Hera". Alcmene picks the Roman "Hercules" over the Greek "Heracles", so she wouldn't have to actually say the fearsome goddess' name when calling him. | |

Bad Powers, Good People: The Hydra killed humans with her toxic breath by accident instead of malice, and turns out to be a good friend, helping Hercules clear the Augean Stables, although because of her Walking Wasteland powers she has to use sign language to communicate with the other characters. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Get to Work, Hercules! / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: After Hercules and Cee beat the NeMean Lion and head for the Oracle, Hades goes back to the Underworld, but decides to help them again, and ends up meeting them just as they make it to Delphi. During the time in the Underworld, he claims he "helped Theseus out a couple of times". This is despite Theseus being two at Hercules' tenth birthday earlier in the book, and Hercules being eighteen now, and Hades, in any case, not meeting Theseus properly until he is already sixteen, and Theseus mentioning there that Hercules is already a great hero. In addition, the labors seemingly take place over roughly two years, yet Theseus appears with his friend Peirithous close to the end of them, and he remembers Hades. See Stop That Bull, Theseus!, and Alternative Character Interpretation on this series' YMMV tab. | |
