Disney's Hercules (also known as Disney's Hercules: The Animated Series) is an American animated series based on the 1997 film of the same name and the Greek myth. The series premiered in syndication on August 31, 1998, and on Disney's One Saturday Morning on September 12, 1998. The syndicated series ran 52 episodes, while the Saturday morning run ran 13.The series follows Hercules, as a teenager, training as a hero, as well as trying to adjust to life. With his free-spirited friend Icarus, his future-seeing friend Cassandra, and his teacher Philoctetes ("Phil"), he battles his evil uncle Hades. Like all teenagers though, Hercules has to worry about peer pressure when the snobbish prince Adonis ridicules him. The series notably contradicts several events in the original film, such as Hades knowing Hercules is alive.The series was released on Disney+ in 2019.

Strong as They Need to Be: Hercules' super strength fluctuates depending on the situation, with him sometimes struggling to lift up a large rock to reality-breaking feats like being able to rip apart the sky through strength alone.

Opinion Flip Flop: In one episode, Hercules tells Zeus that he'll find some way to deal with Adonis's bullying himself. Zeus praises his son for his maturity, and immediately changes his mind when Adonis enters the area and opens his mouth.

Card-Carrying Villain
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_137f2d7
comment
While Minos in Greek Mythology wasn't exactly an angel, and he did cruelly force the Greeks to regularly send him young men and women to be devoured by the Minotaur, he was otherwise described as a fair (if harsh) ruler, to the point he would become one of the judges in the Underworld after his death. Minos in this series is depicted as a Card-Carrying Villain known as the worst tyrant, who had a Giant Robot built for the sole purpose of sinking any ship coming close to his coast For the Evulz. Also, while in the Greek myth he had the Labyrinth built as a way to contain the Minotaur and sent him humans to feed because he feared Poseidon's wrath otherwise, here he is seemingly doing it just so he can enjoy seeing people get killed by a bull monster.

Hydra Problem
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_144fc7c2
comment
Hydra Problem: In "Hercules and the Son of Poseidon", Hercules boldly confronts a three-headed sea serpent, only to be nervous after seeing the monster up close and is initially easily defeated. Obviously in "Hercules and the Long Nightmare" when Hercules fights the Hydra, revealed to be Phantasos in Hercules' dreams. Though afraid, Hercules overcame his fear, and bravely defeats the monster. After stopping Phantasos, Hercules told Morpheus that because of the dreams, he wouldn't be afraid if he ever faced a real Hydra, that tackling it in his dreams made it less frightening.

Loser Deity: Many of the gods. Ares and Athena have been locked into Sibling Rivalry since they were children and will resort to petty pranks to get under the other's skin. Even though Athena is the Goddess of Wisdom and is Hercules' ally, whenever her feud with Ares comes up, she proves to be just as petty as her brother. Poseidon is an idiot and a bore. In a meeting with Hades, he talks about how he created aquatic mammals, which Hades states he has had to sit through more than once, and explains the mammals used to die before he gave them blowholes. In that same meeting, Hades tricks Posedian into giving him control of Athens. Trivia is frequently bullied and gets no respect for talking about inane things.

Power Up Letdown: When Jason finally finds the golden fleece he's disappointed that instead of all it's rumored powers it just grants flight, after hearing that Hercules has Pegasus and Icarus invented wings. Subverted however, as unlike the both of them it can impart flight onto whatever it's touching, including an entire ship.

No Sympathy: Bob the Narrator has zero sympathy in "Hercules and the Bacchanal" for the trouble Hercules gets into. It's not because Herc brought it on himself, either; he's just mad that he didn't get invited to the big party when virtually everyone else did. The Muses offer to take Bob out for ice cream after the episode.

Fortunately he fixes both issues a training license, which lets him fight until 5:00 (which is in 6 minutes) and has the courtesy to get incapacitated by the Catoblepas before that time limit becomes relevant.

Adaptational Villainy
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: Midas, while already greedy and gold-obsessed in Greek myths, wasn't particularly malevolent or cruel, but rather a tragic figure, and quickly came to hate his gift once he realized he couldn't eat anything because of it and turned his own daughter to gold as a result. Here's, his incapacity to eat is seen by him as an annoyance rather than a real problem, and he otherwise gleefully enjoys his ability, turning everything to gold constantly and even coming up with an Evil Plan to turn the entire Earth into gold out of greed, though he still goes through a Heel Realization after turning his daughter by accident. While Minos in Greek Mythology wasn't exactly an angel, and he did cruelly force the Greeks to regularly send him young men and women to be devoured by the Minotaur, he was otherwise described as a fair (if harsh) ruler, to the point he would become one of the judges in the Underworld after his death. Minos in this series is depicted as a Card-Carrying Villain known as the worst tyrant, who had a Giant Robot built for the sole purpose of sinking any ship coming close to his coast For the Evulz. Also, while in the Greek myth he had the Labyrinth built as a way to contain the Minotaur and sent him humans to feed because he feared Poseidon's wrath otherwise, here he is seemingly doing it just so he can enjoy seeing people get killed by a bull monster. Hecate in the original myths was a neutral-to-relatively pleasant goddess and sorceress who generally kept to herself and was close friends with both Demeter and Persephone. Here, she's an arrogant Wicked Witch who is scheming to render Hades powerless so she can take over the Underworld herself.

Jason from Jason and the Argonauts deconstructs the concept of a Heroic Vow and Determinator tendencies, since, after decades of searching, Jason has become so delusional and focused on finding the Golden Fleece much of his own crew has abandoned him and the only ones that remain stayed because of long-term contracts and openly despise him. Even when he finds the Fleece it ends up not being as spectacular as he thought and his journey to find it was the only thing that kept him from caving into depression all those years.

Failed a Spot Check: "Hercules and the Tapestry of Fate": one of the ways altering the Fates' tapestry affected reality was making Cassandra look and act like Helen. Not that Icarus could figure that out, much to the disbelief of Hercules. "Hercules and the Bacchanal": after Poseidon submerges Phil's island, Hercules admits he should've expected something like this when Cassandra showed up wearing a life-jacket. She thought the subtle approach would work best; it didn't.

comment
Anachronism Stew: Continuing from the movie, myths and heroes that happened after Hercules are either contemporary or retired, and things from much later ages show up - such as potatoes and chocolate, which come from America. The fact that Aladdin has already taken place and Jafar can go to the Underworld is one of the biggest examples of Anachronism Stew in both series' continuity, which is really saying something. Even the vaguest version of "Arabian Nights" Days should logically be a few hundred years after Ancient Grome...

Mythology Gag
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: In one episode, a deliveryman mistakenly calls Herc 'Heracles', his Greek name. In Hercules and the Twilight of the Gods, it turns out that The Fates are double-dipping in the Norse pantheon as The Norns. Phil calls them out on it while they try to pretend they're completely separate and unrelated deities.

Career-Ending Injury
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_2882c8c1
comment
Achilles was killed after he has injured in his heel. Here, it became a Career-Ending Injury and he's introduced as an out-of-shape has-been hero. This is a Retcon from the movie too, since there, when Hercules is apparently killed in one scene, Phil says "There goes another one, just like Achilles."

The Dreaded: Like his mythological namesake and counterpart, Typhon the Father of All Monsters is this for the Greek World as a Titan described as so dangerous he could topple Olympus with a sneeze, sent everyone including almost all the gods running, and had to be personally taken on by Zeus and sealed under a mountain to be stopped. Made even more apparent when it's revealed Zeus needed last minute help from Hera to defeat Typhon the first time and the fact Typhon was able to easily take down Zeus at full strength in both encounters. Gorgons. Anybody who looks at one turns to stone. As such, every mortal is terrified of these creatures and feels they should be killed.

Awesome, but Impractical: Played straight and yet silently subverted in the episode "Hercules and the Argonauts". The Golden Fleece turns out to have none of the mythical powers attributed to it, but it does have the power of flight. At first Jason is impressed by this, but then Hercules reluctantly points out that he has a flying horse and Icarus has wings made of wax, causing Jason to feel that it wasn't worth 30 years of his life because it's not that special. However, nobody seems to call much attention to the fact that the fleece allowed Jason to endow his entire ship with the ability to fly through the sky at high speeds, which definitely is something exceptional.

 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_2ec87029
comment
Sadly Mythtaken: Aside from the usual stuff, a number of gods that weren't in the movie make appearances some using their Roman names (Bacchus, who was Dionysus in Greece, and Cupid, who was Eros). In particular the god Trivia stands out, presented here as a god of useless knowledge, where Trivia was actually the Roman name for the goddess Hecate, who makes a separate appearance of her own in the series as a demigoddess of the night. The only thing they got right was that he was the god of where three roads meet, which is among Hecate's schticks. As for the issue of the title character's name, this got inverted when they managed to sneak in the name Heracles during "The Spartan Experience". The Trojan War is implied to take place after The Odyssey (which chronicles Odysseus' return home following said war). Additionally, Achilles was not suggested to be a participant in the "war", which is instead a simple inter-school feud that gets blown out of proportion by a tabloid journalist, being already a washed-up has-been after the discovery of his weakness at some time in the past (in the original myth, said weakness again is discovered after the Trojan War). While Adonis is attributed a variety of fathers depending on the story, none of them were from Thrace. In the show the god of nightmares is Phantasos, whilst he was indeed a god of dreams it was not bad dreams but surreal dreams. The actual god of nightmares was Phantasos’ brother Phobetor. Though this might have been done on purpose to avoid any confusion with Ares’ son Phobos. Ares' two sons appear to be demigods instead of full blooded gods.

Deconstructor Fleet
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_30c40e9a
comment
Deconstructor Fleet: Befitting an expansive series on Hercules' goal to become a true hero and join the Gods on Mount Olympus, the series shows many examples of heroic figures that end up being deconstructed thoroughly. Jason from Jason and the Argonauts deconstructs the concept of a Heroic Vow and Determinator tendencies, since, after decades of searching, Jason has become so delusional and focused on finding the Golden Fleece much of his own crew has abandoned him and the only ones that remain stayed because of long-term contracts and openly despise him. Even when he finds the Fleece it ends up not being as spectacular as he thought and his journey to find it was the only thing that kept him from caving into depression all those years. Orion the Barbarian Hero ends up thoroughly deconstructing the "no-regrets" Destructive Savior archetype, in that his pursuit to stop some renegade monsters ends up irresponsibly trashing every city state he goes to, leaving many homeless and hating him much to Orion's confusion. Achilles ends up deconstructing the Showy Invincible Hero archetype by showing how pathetically vain such a figure would be despite their heroics and how selfishly non-heroic and a complete laughingstock such a figure is when it turns out they're not so invincible. Hercules himself ends up deconstructing the concept of a hero being a Hunter of Monsters, when he meets a friendly Gorgon Monster Girl named Medusa and wrote her off as a freak despite her being nothing but kind to Hercules and his friends. Icarus, a social outcast himself, angrily calls Herc out on this and firmly establishes the Aesop that a person's character, monster or mortal, decides their worth. Medusa herself deconstructs the character from the original myth, who wasn't actually guilty of anything evil and beings turning to stone from looking at her was something she couldn't control. The episode emphasized how terrible it would be to live when anyone who looks at you turns to stone.

Vocal Dissonance: Played for laughs when Argus (the famous 100-eyed Giant) emerges looking like a snarling, threatening beast and then politely talks with the voice of Harvey Firestein. Typhon, the giant monster feared by the gods, has one of the most least threatening high pitched voices in the series. Hecate's winged wolves have rather smooth and eloquent voices for their brutish appearance.

Heroes Prefer Swords: Hercules normally wields a club in mythology, but here, he uses a sword. Most notably in hero training or battling his enemies, even in "Hercules and the Techno Greeks" he engages Tempest in a sword-fighting duel. In "Hercules and the Long Nightmare", Hercules dreams of being attacked by a three-headed Hydra but he couldn't fight back because he dropped his sword, which happens again later as Herc draws his sword that immediately turn into a bouquet of flowers.

Although the series takes place during the time period when Hercules is training with Phil, Hades seems to be already aware of him and actively trying to kill him. In the movie, Hades doesn't learn that Hercules is still alive until shortly after Hercules finishes his training. Course you could say this is an Alternate Continuity. It was the Muses who were telling the story after all and they may have embellished a little to compress the story. Think of the series as the untold tales the movie couldn't cover.

Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: After learning his lesson about not focusing on outer beauty Herc assumes that Mr. Pygmalion learned the same lesson before. Only for him to say no, he hasn't. He's just shallow enough that he cares more that she is gorgeous and madly in love with a toothless old man like him than that she's also a clay monster with a yandere personality. Some people really do value looks over personality and as Aphrodite said, not everybody learns their lesson.

The Caligula: King Minos of Crete fits this to a T. His idea of greeting people who come to his kingdom by sea is to have his giant mechanical guardian (Talos) chuck a giant boulder that says "Welcome to Crete" and sink the ship. He also loves the sound of screaming participants as he feeds them to the Minotaur.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_56723175
comment
Adaptation Induced Plothole: Since this show's set while Hercules is still in high school, it contradicts the movie where Hades thinks his minions succeeded in killing him as a baby, and didn't know Hercules was still alive until he emerged as a hero in public. Not that that's a bad thing, since it seems to be generally agreed that a change like that allowed for some pretty good protagonist-villain interplay in some episodes. In addition, the whole training counts as well because in the film, Hercules was training with Phil on his island while in this show, he's training at an academy and has Icarus and Cassandra as friends.

It's All My Fault: "Hercules and the Big Lie." To get out of an embarrassing situation at a comics convention, he tells Icarus that he has Catastrophia, a (seemingly) serious disease that Hades is trying to spread. Icarus puts himself in danger to Find the Cure! and Herc blames himself for getting him into this mess. Played with when he adds to Cassandra that it's also partly her fault for urging him to lie to get out of it.

In the show the god of nightmares is Phantasos, whilst he was indeed a god of dreams it was not bad dreams but surreal dreams. The actual god of nightmares was Phantasos’ brother Phobetor. Though this might have been done on purpose to avoid any confusion with Ares’ son Phobos.

Adonis was basically known for being extremely good-looking, enough so that Aphrodite and Persephone fought over him, and literally nothing else. Here, he’s a Royal Brat who’s always tormenting his classmates. One wonders why they didn't go with the more obvious Narcissus or Paris, the latter of whom even pops up in an episode as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute to Adonis in one episode.

Hercules is The Chosen One who will defeat Hades, and, in spite of his dorky nature, is a force to be reckoned with; Icarus, while he is a Gadgeteer Genius, is also a kooky Manchild. Hades is just as surprised about a monkey being Aladdin's best friend.

Later, Herc, angry and determined to track down the Minotaur, tells Theseus, "Lead, follow...just get out of my way." Theseus' expression indicates he wasn't expecting Hercules, who has been trying to rein him in the entire episode, to react this way.

Casting Gag: Lots of them. A recurring villain on the show was Echidna "the mother of all monsters" voice by Kathy Lee Gifford. In one episode, Hercules accidentally used one of Zeus's thunderbolts to destroy the mountain imprisoning her husband Typhon, voiced by her old talk show partner, Regis Philbin. Merv Griffin appears as a gryphon with a talk show. Wink Martindale (who worked with Merv on Headline Chasers) was a riddle-giving Sphinx. (He was also working for Disney's Buena Vista TV arm at the time, as the host of Debt on Lifetime.) "Hercules and the Dream Date" has a guest character in Galatea, Hercules' date for the Aphrodesia Dance, who's completely obsessed with him. Galatea was voiced by Jennifer Aniston, who was dating Tate Donovan at the time. What's more is that Aphrodite - who brings Galatea to life - is voice by Jennifer's Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow. William Shatner as Jason in "Hercules and the Argonauts", because who better to play the captain of the Argos than the captain of the Enterprise. And his pilot, George Takei, voices astronomy teacher Ptolemy. Linda Hamilton as Nemesis the Demigoddess of Vengeance in Hercules and the Romans. Who better to play a sociopathic Terminator-like goddess than Sarah Connor herself? Dan Castellaneta, voice of Homer Simpson, plays the original Homer in a few episodes of the series. The professor of Physical Education, Physedipus, is voiced by fitness instructor Richard Simmons. "The Song of Circe": One of Circe's ex-boyfriends was transformed into a hyena with an Annoying Laugh. He is voiced by Jim Cummings, who voiced Ed in The Lion King and Timon & Pumbaa.

Croesus, richest man in the Greek World and owner of Atlantis, was one before his city sank, to the point he could buy off Poseidon and Hades's services despite both being Olympian Gods, in addition to the Fates.

Laborious Laces: In "Hercules and the Kids", Herc is asked to help Aesop with some kids on a field trip, including one named Alexander, who can't tie his sandals and has to wear ones with Velcro. Later, Alexander has to save his classmates, who have been captured by a Giant Spider. Unable to untie the webs they're wrapped in, he instead cuts them open. He later grew up to become none other than Alexander the Great, and he used what he learned that day to undo the infamous Gordian Knot. Yet he never learned to tie laces, still wearing Velcro sandals.

Spared by the Adaptation
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_7453bc5b
comment
Spared by the Adaptation: Tragically, in Greek Mythology, Icarus, son of Daedalus, flew too close to the sun using artificial wings of wax and feathers, and fell to his death. It's mentioned that he did fly too close to the sun, thus the hairstyle and (purportedly) the general loopiness. (The opening had him "flaming out" and being caught by Herc and Pegasus.) He also says he "learned his lesson" and uses the wings for more lower-level gliding. Achilles was killed after he has injured in his heel. Here, it became a Career-Ending Injury and he's introduced as an out-of-shape has-been hero. This is a Retcon from the movie too, since there, when Hercules is apparently killed in one scene, Phil says "There goes another one, just like Achilles." The Trojan War here takes the shape of an elaborate prank war between Prometheus Academy and a rival school. Homer, the journalist for "Greekly World News" sent to cover it, decides that this is too mundane and reworks the story into an epic war between kingdoms for the love of Helen, whose face launched a hundred — no, a thousand ships. Medusa in her myth of origin was killed by Perseus, someone who Phil in the movie mentioned as a previous failed protégé. In the episode she appears in, she survives.

All Myths Are True: The Greek gods rule over Greece and later Rome when the Romans put out an ad for gods. The Egyptian gods rule Egypt and come to Rome after reading said ad but demands that the Romans demolish the Colosseum to make way for pyramids, causing the Romans to go for the Mediterranean Olympians who understand their culture better. Scandinavia, Iceland, and Greenland are also shown to be ruled by the Norse gods.

From Bad to Worse
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_7870735b
comment
From Bad to Worse: As an awkward teenager, Hercules doesn't know his own strength and clumsily goes about inadvertently destroying things or humiliating himself. It's a recurring theme throughout the animated series. In "Hercules and the First Day of School", Hercules confront Orthos who attempts to eat Herc but realizing he's "stale" and a nobody, discards him. They then attempt to eat Adonis after learning he is a prince. However, upon realizing Herc is strong, they decide to take him on. In "Hercules and the Visit From Zeus" Zeus becomes mortal temporarily, which Hades uses as an opportunity sending Cerberus to kill him. Herc sticks a pillar in Cerberus' mouth, only to play fetch with the three-headed dog. In "Hercules and the Parent's Weekend", Echidna's son Ladon attacks Prometheus Academy. When Hercules first confronts Ladon, he wields a spoon rather than an actual weapon, causing Ladon to literally walk over him. In "Hercules and the Return of Typhon", Hercules battles Echidna which initially ends with having Hercules "feed the baby" by being thrown into Ladon's mouth before being spat out. Hercules resumes the battle but unintentionally releases Typhon from his imprisonment. In "Hercules and the Prometheus Affair" Hercules rescues Prometheus, not knowing his father Zeus imprisoned the Titan himself. While battling the eagle, Herc finds his spear and shield missing from his hands. In "Hercules and the Complex Electra", during a Fury attack, Hercules is grabbed by one Fury lifted off the ground in its talons, then it dunks him in mud puddles, covering the hero-in-training in mud. The Fury then throws Herc into a tree, and a group of Furies try pecking at his head, until the hero-in-training defeats them. It is later revealed that the Furies appear as Electra gets angry, and Herc makes her angrier, in which more Furies appear and attack. In "Hercules and the Long Nightmare", Hercules had a dream of his adult self being attacked by a three-headed Hydra, being yanked into the air by his cape, but he couldn't fight back because he dropped his sword. The next night, Herc dreamed of his teenage self screaming for help before the Hydra swallows him whole, then saying he couldn't get out and was stuck in its pancreas, before waking up. Both Herc and Phil face Phantasos, who appeared as Phil's mother before transforming into the Hydra. Herc draws his sword that immediately turn into a bouquet of flowers, then tries to run before one Hydra head yanks him into the air again. During the tense moment, Herc struggles to prevent being eaten by using his feet to hold the Hydra's mouth open with all his might. Herc is able to escape the Hydra's jaws, unhooking his cape and tries running away before being captured again.

Animation Bump: The episode "Hercules and the Dream Date" has MUCH more fluid animation compared to other episodes, and was made with digital ink-and-paint (which allowed for some shading), resulting in less of a filmed look and more in-line with the later DTV sequels. This was because it was produced at the Australian studio, which often had more fluid looking character animation in their projects.

Multiple Head Case
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_8f842f45
comment
Multiple Head Case: In "Hercules and the Son of Poseidon", Hercules boldly confronts a three-headed sea serpent, only to be nervous after seeing the monster up close and is initially easily defeated. While trying to eat Herc, the heads themselves also fight over which one gets to eat him and accidentally tosses him away. In "Hercules and the Long Nightmare", Hercules fights a three-headed Hydra in his dreams. Phantasos transforms into the Hydra and thinks he's won, but Hercules fought his fear by tying the three heads together and grabbing its tail, throwing the Hydra away and defeated it. The Chimera has two heads, removing the goat head from the orginal myth for just a lion's at the front and a snake tail. Compared to other examples from the franchise, they seem to get along fairly well. The snake even tries to lift a victim into the lion's mouth. They're still capable of being tricked to blow fire at or headbut each other though.

Fountain of Youth: In "Hercules and the Spring of Canathus", Pain and Panic take water from the eponymous spring that reverses age and squirt Hercules, Pegasus, Icarus and Adonis with it, turning them into babies. Pain accidentally gets some water on himself and changes as well.

Transformation Conventions: In "The Song of Circe", the sorceress Circe turns Herc, Adonis, and Icarus into animals. Cloud Cuckoolander Icarus becomes a duck-billed platypus and the vain Adonis changes into a peacock. Hercules, for some reason, is turned into a ring-tailed lemur, albeit a super-strong one.

comment
Shoot Him, He Has a Wallet!: An attempted invocation occurs during the episode that introduces Medusa (who in this continuity is a sweet girl with a nasty ability who just wants a chance at love). Hades tries to get Medusa to turn Hercules into stone when he approaches with something in hand after finding out she's a Gorgon, arguing that it's probably a sword and she can't wait for a positive identification. She turns Herc to stone (by accident) and then finds out he was coming to apologize and that the object in his hand was a bouquet.

"Not So Different" Remark: Aladdin and Hercules realize that they're both heroes trying to protect their friends, although not before spending much of the episode fighting each other. Hercules thinks his mortal parents are so embarrassing, but Cassandra says every teenager feels that way. She proves her point with an informal poll, asking a group of students if they would rather kiss a Gorgon or be seen shopping with their parents. Every single one of them chooses the former.

Been There, Shaped History: Most of the episodes dumped Hercules into various Greek myths, such as replacing Phaeton (Apollo's son, who failed miserably at driving the sun chariot) and facing the Minotaur alongside Theseus (which he actually did in some versions of the myths). Thus, Hercules became responsible for practically everything in Greek mythology before he even became famous. It Makes Sense in Context.

Eating the Enemy: Some of the battles Hercules has with monsters have him eaten for a brief moment. Miraculously, the hero-in-training escapes by his own means or by accident. This includes Pain and Panic, Ladon, Arachne, and Jealousy. There are some close calls, like Orthos, Doubt, a giant serpent in the River Styx, a three-headed serpent Poseidon fought, as well as a herd of man-eating mares. Phantasos ate Hercules as a three-headed Hydra and Typhon, though they were in dreams.

Stay in the Kitchen: Lampshaded, Inverted and ultimately Defied in the episode "Hercules and the Girdle of Hippolyte". Herc and resident Amazon classmate Tempest get into an argument during a Home Economics class. Taking Phil's lead, Hercules insists that Tempest do all the work, on the grounds that she's a girl, so of course she has to do the housework. Tempest, being an Amazon, was raised to believe that men are the ones who should do all the housework. Later Herc actually meets Tempest's parents. When her father intervenes in her mother's overly militaristic handling of Tempest's mistakes her mother actually tells him to "Get back in your kitchen." He refuses and then delivers the episode's aesop.

Foreshadowing
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: There are several instances of foreshadowing, some being in relation to the 1997 film. In "Hercules and the Living Legend", one of Phil's hero rules is "access the situation", used by Achilles during his fight with Memnon the dragon, which is similar to "analyze the situation" that Phil tells Hercules during the latter's fight with Nessus the centaur. Phil yells Your Other Left while Achilles fights Memnon, which was said to Hercules during his battle with the Hydra in the film. Hercules occasionally loses his weapons in the series. In "Hercules and the Big Kiss", after evading Doubt's strike, Hercules rolls away to find his bow and arrow missing from his hands, which happens in a similar manner in the film during the Hydra battle, in which Hercules finds his sword missing. In "Hercules and the Dream Date", Hercules creates Galatea out of clay with the help of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. When Aphrodite fixes Galatea's figure up, Hercules asks for her to be more curvy, which could be foreshadowing his infatuation with Megara, who shares a similar design; Galatea and Meg also have similar hair and dress colours. Likewise, Medusa's human form in "Hercules and the Gorgon" looks very similar to Meg; Hercules really seems to have a thing for brunettes in purple. The Hydra is referenced several times, like "Hercules and the Spartan Experience" where Hercules points at a cloud that looks like a Hydra being slain by a brave hero. In "Hercules and the Long Nightmare", Phantasos gives everyone bad dreams, with Herc's being the hero-in-training being attacked by a three-headed Hydra, and at one point having the monster swallow him whole. Though afraid, Hercules overcame his fear and bravely defeats Phantasos. Hercules told Morpheus that he wouldn't be afraid if he ever faced a real Hydra, that tackling it in his dreams made it less frightening. The latter being ironic as Herc was evidently afraid of the Hydra when it started out with one head in the film, and even before the monster grew thirty heads. In one episode, Pegasus (temporarily) defeats fthe Chimera by causing a rockslide, just like how Hercules beats its sibling. The Hydra itself appears as a baby, once in Echidna's villian song and once in Hades's recruitment center.

Status Quo Is God: In addition to the show's loose canon in relation to the film it's based on, the main status of Hercules and his friends never changes from episode to episode. Any love interests that Hercules might have never stick around. Any villains or antagonists like Adonis that Hercules helps will never learn from his kindness. Even Megaera, his future wife, shows up as a teenager in one episode and the two have an Almost Kiss before being splashed with the water of forgetfulness just to avoid any continuity errors down the road.

Adaptational Jerkass: Chiron in Greek Mythology was the one Centaur to be a decent person, as well as a wise mentor and Hercules' friend. In this series, since the role of Hercules' mentor was moved to Philoctetes, Chiron is portrayed as Phil's smug rival. Adonis was basically known for being extremely good-looking, enough so that Aphrodite and Persephone fought over him, and literally nothing else. Here, he’s a Royal Brat who’s always tormenting his classmates. One wonders why they didn't go with the more obvious Narcissus or Paris, the latter of whom even pops up in an episode as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute to Adonis in one episode. Bellerophon was a heroic figure whose ego only started to inflate after he'd accomplished many deeds thought impossible. Here, he has a sense of unwarranted self importance from the start. He thinks he can slay the Chimera just because he's Bellerophon and originally mistakes Pegasus rescuing him for apotheosis despite having done nothing by that point.

Oh, Crap!: Because of his clumsiness, Hercules causes accidents and makes a lot of mistakes in his battles. For instance, destroying a building or losing his weapons. This is a recurring theme throughout the animated series. Pain and Panic do this frequently whenever they screw something up. Hercules and the Secret Weapon has Ares undergo this at the end of the episode when he learns Hercules' name and realizes he tried to execute Zeus' son. In "Hercules and the Big Games" Echidna has this after Ares and Athena enter the field to defeat her. Aladdin gives out this expression in the Aladdin crossover when he realizes that he and Hercules made a big mistake in fighting each other. He gets this earlier when he tries swing-kicking Herc off Pegasus, only to find that it has no effect.

Gravity Is a Harsh Seamstress: In a crossover episode with Aladdin: The Series, Hercules gets tricked into flying Pegasus into Agrabah's "Alley of a Thousand Sheets". There, it looks like the clothesline is going to send him flying. In spite of Phil's complaints, he manages to muscle through and break the clothesline.

Accidental Misnaming: In a handful of episodes, minor characters will misread or mis-pronounce our hero's name as "Heracles". This itself is a reference to the character's name in the original Greek myths; "Hercules" is his Roman name.

What You Are in the Dark: Hercules throws a massive party on Phil's island that pisses off a sleeping Poseidon who ends up sinking it. Hercules and Hermes end up spending the entire episode running around getting favors done for various monsters and Gods just so Poseidon will put the island back before Phil comes home and gets angry. They succeed, but Hercules ends up telling Phil what happened anyway because he doesn't want to lie to him.

Weapon Jr.: One episode has Hercules training with a "junior javelin" despite wanting to use a real one. At the end, Athena offers him any weapon in existence to beat the villain with. Having learned his lesson he asks for the training weapon, wins and turns down the offer of an actual javelin from the woman he impressed.

Make Way for the Princess: A gender-flipped example occurs at the end of "Hercules and the Visit From Zeus". Just after Herc has told his father that he's no longer asking for him to do something about Adonis, Adonis snobbishly orders everyone out of the way for an entrance. This causes Zeus to hit him with a lightning bolt.

Gorgeous Gorgon: Medusa.

Hercules even dated her once.

Take That!: The guidance counselor, Mr. Parenthesis, says that they use oxen guts to predict students' future careers. Hercules asks why they don't use an aptitude test, and Mr. Parenthesis says they tried that, and that the oxen guts were more accurate (by 72%!). After failing to stop Hippocrates from stopping people from dying as the world's first doctor, Hades decides to slow down medicine as much as possible by inventing golf, double charging, and HMOs.

Forced Transformation: "The Song of Circe": Circe turns all of her ex-boyfriends into animals, including Icarus becoming a platypus (and Adonis becoming a peacock and Hercules a lemur.) Cassandra returns everyone to normal, but she's surprised to find the pig-men guards are actually bipedal, talking pigs. In the Calydonian Boar episode, Artemis changes Phil into a boar to teach him why hunting endangered animals is wrong. While cramming for a test, Herc, Cassandra, and Icarus list off Io (woman changed into a cow), Alectryon (lazy soldier changed into a rooster), and Arachne (a weaver who got turned into a spider monster).

Shrouded in Myth: Zeus is famed for defeating Typhon by incapacitating him with a thunderbolt and then throwing a mountain on top of him. An entire holiday (Titan Smithin' Day) is based around the story and features reenactments. However, it was actually Hera who threw the thunderbolt, as Zeus needed time to pick up the mountain. Not even Echidna knew what really happened. Hercules is stunned that everyone's favorite holiday is based on a myth, but Zeus tells him these things happen and concedes everyone needs help now and then.

Muggle Sports, Super Athletes: Hercules gets the chance to be a sports hero when he competes in the Big Games. His Super-Strength makes the mundane events a snap, but Ares eventually catches on and ensures he's disqualified. It turns out that Zeus himself decreed that demigods aren't allowed to compete in such games, due to having an unfair advantage. Of course, no one (not even Zeus!) bothered to tell Hercules this when he joined up.

It failed; When it was time to ask Aphrodite to bring her to life, he hadn't even considered what her personality would be like, so he just asks for her to be crazy about him. Aphrodite, apparently favoring object lessons, interpreted this as a Clingy Jealous Girl. It doesn't take Galatea long before she invokes Ax-Crazy as well.

In "Hercules and the Big Kiss", after evading Doubt's strike, Hercules rolls away to find his bow and arrow missing from his hands, which happens in a similar manner in the film during the Hydra battle, in which Hercules finds his sword missing. In "Hercules and the Prometheus Affair", Hercules loses his spear and shield while fighting the Caucasian Eagle, later having to run away on foot from the eagle became too much of a match for him.

Shout-Out: So, so many. Icarus giving the Olympian Gods their Roman names. In "Hercules and the Dream Date", Cassandra tells Herc "Come with me if you want to live", right before Galatea does a T-1000 transformation. The Grim Avenger episode is a reference to the Worlds Finest comic books with Theseus as The Cowl stand in for Batman and Hercules as The Cape stand in for Superman. The Minotaur plays the role of The Joker. Theseus even has a rich playboy civilian identity. The Norse Mythology episode is a reference to the fights in Marvel between Thor and Hercules. They were both written by Greg Weisman who's a big comic book fan. Also from the Grim Avenger episode, Icarus asks, "Who was that helmeted man?"

Series Continuity Error
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: Although the series takes place during the time period when Hercules is training with Phil, Hades seems to be already aware of him and actively trying to kill him. In the movie, Hades doesn't learn that Hercules is still alive until shortly after Hercules finishes his training. Course you could say this is an Alternate Continuity. It was the Muses who were telling the story after all and they may have embellished a little to compress the story. Think of the series as the untold tales the movie couldn't cover. Some of the Olympian gods who appeared as background characters in the movie look completely different in the series, notably Cupid/Eros, who goes from being a good-looking young man with large wings to a comically obese and diminutive middle-aged man with tiny wings.◊ Some non-gods also appeared in previous media with different designs. Daedalus, Odysseus, Perseus and Minos all appeared in Disney's Hades Challenge looking nothing like they do in the series (with Daedalus looking susupiciously similar to the angry artist from the movie who was trying to paint Hercules onto a vase). The Nemean Lion, the Minotaur and a Gorgon also all had cameos in the movie during the "Zero to Hero" montage. The latter two also appeared in both the Hercules movie game and Hades Challenge using the same designs as in the movie, with the Gorgon being explicitly identified as Medusa in both games. All three have new designs in the series, with Medusa being the most different: instead of fat, ugly and evil, she's skinny, reasonably attractive and friendly. The fat Gorgon appears in another episode, apparently retconned into Stheno, Medusa's elder sister. Typhon also previously appeared in Hades Challenge with a design not even remotely similar to how he appears in the series. Cerberus is a puppy in the series, with his debut episode even implying Hades just got him. In the movie, he's fully grown in the first act, while Hercules is still an infant. The Trojan War is part of the plot in Hades Challenge, where it's depicted as an actual war with Helen being a real prisoner for ten years. In the series, it's just a rivalry between Prometheus Acdemy and a Trojan rival school, and the Athenians only thought Helen was kidnapped, she just visited Troy to try and end the rivalry. While Odysseus and Theseus both appear, neither seem to have been trained by Phil as he mentioned in the movie. The Argo appears in one episode, but it can't talk like it does in Hades Challenge.

Writing Around Trademarks: Lampshaded in "Hercules and the Big Games" when Bob discusses the various games of Greece. After naming a few of them, he then mentions a famous contest held every four years in Olympia, but he adds they can't say the name outright "due to trademark restrictions." "Big Games" has to suffice.

Hypocrite: With Achilles seemingly back in action, Phil is torn between sticking with training his current pupil or cashing in on the fame of an established hero. When finally forced to make a decision, Phil stays with Achilles and leaves innocent people in the lurch in the process, so Hercules accuses him of never believing the hero rules he's always preaching. It cuts Phil pretty deeply and makes him take stock of things. On separate occasions, an irritated Hercules has called Triton and Medusa freaks, despite having been on the receiving end of such insults for years and knowing how much it hurts. Both times he gets chastised for not being more understanding and realizes his folly. When Hercules agrees to settle the fate Athena's pet owl Ibid (along with the captured Athena and Ares) by against Fear and Terror in their game "It's All Greek To Me" he complains about them using the owl's intelligence to answer questions. Thanks to Ibid's intelligence boost, Fear points out that Hercules had also been using him to cheat on his midterms so he has no right to complain.

comment
Jerk Ass Gods: Averted for the most part, with this being Disney. The worst traits of the gods are either downplayed or written out all together. The closest would be Nemesis, Ares and Hades. Nemesis is only doing her job (if with a bit too much enthusiasm). Ares is close to being a Jerk Jock, but too ineffectual and not mean enough. Hades is about the only one and his smooth persona covers up much of his jerkiness. The Egyptian gods play it straight. Averted with the Norse gods, except Loki but that is par for the course. Athena sometimes dips into this with her rivalry with Ares though like him she is presented as harmless. In her debut appearance she wanted Hercules to steal a weapon Ares planned to use to destroy Athens, so she could use it to destroy Sparta.

Sadly Mythcharacterized: Subverted with Artemis—you'd probably expect her anger at people hunting the Calydonian Boar to be out of character, as she's the Goddess of the Hunt, but Artemis was also the Goddess of Wild Animals and generally perceived as very protective of the animals that were sacred to her, the Calydonian Boar being one of said sacred animals (in short, Artemis was the Goddess of sustainable hunting and hunting for necessity, not just killing animals indescriminantly). Indeed, Artemis in the episode seems to primarily have a problem with the hunters nearly driving an endangered species to extinction for a stupid reason rather than the hunting in and of itself.

Hercules himself ends up deconstructing the concept of a hero being a Hunter of Monsters, when he meets a friendly Gorgon Monster Girl named Medusa and wrote her off as a freak despite her being nothing but kind to Hercules and his friends. Icarus, a social outcast himself, angrily calls Herc out on this and firmly establishes the Aesop that a person's character, monster or mortal, decides their worth.

I'm Not Afraid of You: Tempest was portrayed as a character who was never afraid. However, in "Hercules and the Girdle of Hippolyte", Tempest was visibly afraid when she almost fell into a pit full of snakes. Subverted in "Hercules and the Son of Poseidon" when Hercules boldly confronts a three-headed sea serpent, only to be nervous after seeing the monster up close. In "Hercules and the Long Nightmare", after being afraid of his dreams, Hercules boldly confronts Phantasos as a three-headed Hydra and Typhon.

Blood-Splattered Warrior: In "Hercules and the Living Legend", Hercules trains to fight a dragon but ends up getting hit by tomatoes. The way Hercules is covered by tomato juice that looks like blood.

Biting-the-Hand Humor: In the Medusa episode, after taking Hades's offer, she is sent to a Minion Orientation session which is basically mocking Disney's own "Traditions" classes for new park hires, complete with Pain and Panic saying "We aren't employees, we're cast members". In "Hercules and the Romans", Hades scoffs at being renamed "Pluto", saying the name isn't fit for a dog.

Crossover Cosmology
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_ea8168f
comment
Crossover Cosmology: Hercules encounters Egyptian and Norse gods. The Olympian gods also become Roman godsnote Notably, Bacchus is never referred to as Dionysus at all, they even like their new Roman names (except Hades, see Shout-Out). The Fates also moonlight as the Norns. It's also possible for a dead Arabian genie to go to the Greek underworld. (Then again, it being possible for genies to die at all is a deviation from mythology.)

"Hercules and the Dream Date" has a guest character in Galatea, Hercules' date for the Aphrodesia Dance, who's completely obsessed with him. Galatea was voiced by Jennifer Aniston, who was dating Tate Donovan at the time. What's more is that Aphrodite - who brings Galatea to life - is voice by Jennifer's Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow.

Your Other Left
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_f03aae7f
comment
In "Hercules and the Living Legend", one of Phil's hero rules is "access the situation", used by Achilles during his fight with Memnon the dragon, which is similar to "analyze the situation" that Phil tells Hercules during the latter's fight with Nessus the centaur. Phil yells Your Other Left while Achilles fights Memnon, which was said to Hercules during his battle with the Hydra in the film.

comment
Distracted by the Sexy: At the end of the episode where Herc and Meg met and get their minds wiped of the encounter, one of the Muses complains about the unsatisfactory nature of the ending. The Narrator tries to explain they don't have enough time to tell the rest of their story together, but the Muse insists. So the narrator pulls down an image of an adult Hercules and begins to recap the movie, only for the Muse to be entranced by the muscular adult Hercules, causing the narrator to end the episode in a huff. Mr Pygmalion is so enamored by his wife's beauty that he doesn't care that she's an mentally unbalanced shape changing clay monster. Even when she wraps him in her tentacles and carries him off.

Chain of Deals: "Hercules and the Bacchanal" has Herc and Hermes going one of those in order to get Phil's island out of the bottom of the ocean. Poseidon's condition is getting eye lotion from the monster Argus, who wants a love arrow from Cupid, who wants some water from the Pool of Forgetfulness, and Pain and Panic can give the water in return for fireproof shorts, who Hermes knows that Hephaestus can forge as he owes him a favor.

Identical Stranger: Melampus, who looks and acts exactly like Icarus, culminating in a scene where Icarus is in the foreground doing a series of crazy poses that make sense in context, while Melampus is in the background doing the exact same wild poses for no discernible reason. Played for Laughs in the episode where Cassandra falls for him while - of course - continuing to disdain Icarus, despite the two being practically the same person albeit with Melampus showing more social graces.

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: Mocked relentlessly in the Evil Reactionary case of the People's Order of Titan Liberators or P.O.O.T.L's (pronounced "poodles") from "Hercules and the Hostage Crisis", an anarchic group of Titan-Worshipers led by the half-Titan/half-Giant Antaeus. They seek to free the Titans due to believing Zeus to be an usurping tyrant and want to return the world to the Dark Ages ruled by the "noble" Titans. Zeus himself is flabbergasted at this, as the Titans were horrible monsters who created an age of Primordial Chaos, where life was unbearable for all.

Evil Plan
 Hercules: The Animated Series / int_f2d8e3c2
comment
Midas, while already greedy and gold-obsessed in Greek myths, wasn't particularly malevolent or cruel, but rather a tragic figure, and quickly came to hate his gift once he realized he couldn't eat anything because of it and turned his own daughter to gold as a result. Here's, his incapacity to eat is seen by him as an annoyance rather than a real problem, and he otherwise gleefully enjoys his ability, turning everything to gold constantly and even coming up with an Evil Plan to turn the entire Earth into gold out of greed, though he still goes through a Heel Realization after turning his daughter by accident.
