Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

• View history

" This is the story of a time long ago – a time of myth and legend. When the ancient gods were petty and cruel, and they plagued mankind with suffering, only one man dared to challenge their power – Hercules . Hercules possessed a strength the world had never seen – a strength surpassed only by the power of his heart. He journeyed the Earth – battling the minions of his wicked stepmother, Hera, the all-powerful queen of the gods. But wherever there was evil, wherever an innocent would suffer, there would be Hercules. "

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (or "H:TLJ") was a television series which aired from 1995 to 1999. The series depicts American actor Kevin Sorbo as Hercules , the son of the god Zeus and the human woman Alcmene . After the jealous Hera kills Hercules' family in The Wrong Path , he sets out to foil her evil plans, and help others he encounters along the way. He is usually accompanied by childhood friend, Iolaus , played by British-New Zealand actor Michael Hurst . Sometimes Hercules is joined by Salmoneus , depicted by American actor Robert Trebor .

H:TLJ had two spin-off shows, Xena: Warrior Princess and Young Hercules , plus one animation, Hercules and Xena – The Battle for Mount Olympus. The live shows shared a number of reoccurring characters, but rarely shared story lines. All of the shows were filmed in New Zealand with mostly local actors, but they typically used American accents.

While the setting is usually ancient Greece , no solid historical timeline or locales are adhered to, and elements from various periods are seen, such as Oriental, Egyptian and Medieval. The cast, extras, and villagers often represent a wide range of cultures and races not common to ancient Greece. Anachronisms and references to the modern world in episodes were common, and often scripted on purpose.

Some of the crew worked across the three shows, or switched between them. During later seasons, some left to work on The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. H:TLJ would become one of the highest-rated syndicated series at the time, and it and its spin-offs were seen as the height of the first-run, syndicated era. The show won 3 ASCAP awards, and was nominated for over twenty other awards, including a Saturn Award.

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

When his stepmother, demonic snake-woman, Hero, destroys his family, Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) is so consumed by hatred that he loses sight of his purpose to help people in need. Hercules declares he will take on the demon face-to-face. Entering the darkness of her cave, he is immediately confronted by her sensuous, tantalizing form. Using her demonic charms, she attempts to seduce him into submission. A battle of wits and strength ensues, taxing all of Hercules' powers. Michael Hurst co-stars as Iolaus.

Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) learns the real reason why a giant Cyclops (Richard Moll) has been terrorizing a village. In a spectacular battle against Hera's executioners, they join forces in victory.

Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) accompanies a town's citizens, cursed by Hera because of a theft at her temple, on a perilous journey to a city offering safe haven. On their exhausting trek they are attacked by a huge pterodactyl-like bird. Hercules wages a long and desperate battle against the winged monstrosity, which he ultimately buries in a pit of quicksand. Norman Forsey co-stars as the seer.

Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) uncovers an elaborate plot calling for the murder of a king (Noel Trevarthen) during a celebration honoring the god of wine. Hercules must grapple with a ten-foot eel-like creature and try and reach the festival and stop the virgins from drinking the wine possessed by Ares which will cause them to slay the king. Norman Forsey co-stars as the seer.

Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) aided by the alluring and powerful Atalanta (Cory Everson) confronts his wicked half-brother Ares, the god of war, who uses a band of boy-soldiers to quench his undying thirst for bloodshed. Hercules goes to Ares’ cave. There he sees his wicked half-brother, rising from behind a pool of blood, his huge bulbous skull-head atop a body of mangled corpses of fallen warriors. A fierce battle ensues.

Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) attends a friend's wedding where Nemis the Centaur (Cliff Curtis) arrives and kidnaps the bride (Jacqueline Collen) and her maid of honor (Fiona Mogridge). Hercules is temporarily blinded as he seeks to rescue them and is forced to battle in the dark. Lucy Lawless guest stars as Lyla.
