This is a page for the real Greek myths that are either referenced or used loosely for plotlines in Young Hercules. (more info to be added)

Young Hercules (Movie Pilot)

  • Jason & the Argonauts/Golden Fleece

1.22 A Lady in Hades

Charon: Oh, the pain in my liver, I wouldn't wish it on Prometheus.
  • Prometheus is mentioned by Charon.
    • In punishment for giving fire to humans, the Titan Prometheus was punished by Zeus by being chained to a mountainside and have his liver torn from him daily by a giant eagle or vulture. Prometheus is eventually freed from captivity by Hercules.
  • Orpheus and Eurydice
    • In the myth, Orpheus travels down to the underworld.
    • Jason being reunited with his father is an allusion to another story about the underworld in which a man travels to see his father to seek his advice. (note to self: what myth is this?!?)
