with the harvest moon, when

my heir, Prince Iphicles..

Will take the Princess

of Crete to be his wife!

Yes!

Hebe! Hebe, stop!

Why don't you enlighten

me on what just happened.

I believe the announcement

took them by surprise, Father.

The only surprise is that you allowed

her to behave in such a manner...

without even lifting a

finger, lion slayer.

What could I have done?

I am Amphitryon the Conqueror...

ruler of the realm,

vanquisher of Argos.

You are my son, and tonight

you stood and watched...

as your future wife made

a fool of you and me...

in front of our most

formidable threat: Crete.

Look at them. It

makes you look weak.

- I'm sorry, Father.

- I don't want you to be sorry.

I want you to be a man.

You're the future king

of Tiryns. Act like it.

Hebe! Hebe, stop!

Stop! Stop!

Come here.

I won't marry him.

I'd rather die.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I need you strong.

Are you strong?

I want to leave

with you... tonight.

If we can make it across

the river to Tyga...

the King's men Won't follow us.

- That's them!

- Go, Hebe, run west!

- No, I won't leave you!

- I'll be right behind you! Go!

After them!

You two, follow her! Now!

You heard the orders!

Don't hurt the Prince!

Faster!

- Stop! Stop!

- Alcides!

- Hebe!

- Help!

Alcides!

Help!

Alcides!

Captain Sotiris.

Is the Fourth Battalion

ready to sail tomorrow?

160 men, Your Grace, ready and

accounted for, as you commanded.

Good. You'll take half. No more.

- Half?

- You are young.

Learn to keep 80 in line and we'll

see about expanding your command.

You disapprove?

No, Your Grace.

We'll be victorious

and honor your name.

I have him, Father!

I understand you're having some trouble

with the arrangements we've made.

Your arrangements you may find

spoiled by the next harvest moon.

I think not. You sail

to Egypt tomorrow.

There's been a revolt in Heliopolis,

north of the Nile River delta.

You will enjoy war, Alcides,

and you will forget all this.

I certainly don't fear

for your survival.

May your mother's gods be

with you, if they be at all.

Ask him about Hebe.

One final thing.

Your brother here seems

obsessed with the thought...

that you've taken the

girl's maidenhood.

Why don't you reassure

him that's not the case.

Certainly, I shall.

I assure you, brother...

it's none of your business.

I wish you endless victories

in the battlefield, brother.

Because if you return

here, I will kill you.

Alcides, I beg you to understand...

that you have a purpose on this

earth beyond this one desire.

I've no purpose other than

claiming the love that is mine!

I damn the King for denying it to me, and
