The Legend of Hercules Page #3

I damn the gods for taking her from me!

- Hercules!

- Majesty, no.

What did you call me?

You are not the son of Amphitryon.

I swear on my love for

you, you are Hercules...

Gift of Hera, son of Zeus.

- Chiron.

- My Prince.

Has my mother spoken

of this to anyone?

No. I assure you, no one.

Because the King is

a jealous man...

and most likely would

believe this mad talk.

Open the gates!

Alcides!

Hold!

Have heart, my love! I will

return before you know it!

And you will be marrying me!

Three moons from now!

What troubles you?

The King first ordered

my full company...

then halved it before we left.

There's no campaign underway.

Peace is secured in Crete.

Two divisions lay idle in camp.

Why would that fool deny me even

the smallest excess of troops?

We do not know what

awaits us in Heliopolis!

Horus Pass. We'll be there

by sunset and make camp.

There must be another way

than through a pass.

Along with our numbers, our

route was changed as well.

Your father wants us in

Heliopolis a day sooner.

Scouts forward!

Plenty of water for all!

Cold and clean.

Any word of the scouts?

It's been too long since they left.

Make camp here. Feed the

horses and the men.

Now, we need 20

volunteers on foot...

cause we're gonna

secure the passage.

Some say the Golden

Eagle's a sign from Zeus.

Yes. And some believe

it's just a bird.

Sotiris.

Men... fall back to the camp.

I led them to their deaths.

Fall back! Retreat!

Back the way we came!

Battle formation!

Testudo!

Archers!

Archers! Form up!

- We're the only two left!

- Take them alive!

- Commander Tarak.

- Over here.

The Prince's helmet.

Who is the captain?

I am.

Is this the helmet of the

Prince named Alcides?

- Is it?

- Yes.

Where does he lie?

Where does he lie?

He lies there.

Where you got him.

Take this to the King.

Captain, you are strong-willed...

but this one, even half dead...

he's twice as strong

as my best fighter.

If I thought you'd live, I'd sell

you both for a princely sum.

Sell us. Sell us! Sell us.

We will live.

Who are you, soldier?

Hercules.

I cooled it off for you.

There's far worse pain awaiting

where you two are going.

Would the King really do this?

Sacrifice is own men to

ensure the death of one?

His own son!

Why did you choose to live?

Do you know of the engagement...

between my brother Iphicles

and Hebe, Princess of Crete?

Yes. It was announced

before our departure.

I must make it back to

Tiryns before the wedding.

You stay by my side...

I'll make you a guest of honor...

at what shall be my wedding.

I fear you've been within the

palace walls too long, my Prince.

I've traveled the world...
