Hercules is a 2005 television miniseries by RHI Entertainment that chronicles the story of the famous Greek hero Heracles, referred to as Hercules in the series. It is typically presented on television as a two-part miniseries: the first part chronicles his early life in Tiryns and his longing for and marriage to the lady Megara; the second covers the most well-known portion of his life, in which he seeks penance for the madness-induced murder of his family. The series features five of Hercules' twelve labors from Greek mythology, as well as his family's murder, which is typically omitted from modern portrayals of the character. In the series, Antaeus' father is the giant Antaeus, although in Greek mythology his father was Zeus, the king of the gods.
