Young Hercules


Amazon Grace

Theseus of Athens and a group of men loyal to him crash the academy in order to claim ownership of the cadet’s honored guests, the Telequire Amazon tribe. Theseus claims he had procured them as slaves, but Hercules and his friends took them from Zared's ship. When Cheiron regretfully informs the cadets that Theseus is entitled to his purchase, a plan is devised to win the Amazon’s freedom. Cyane issues a challenge to fight Theseus. If he wins the Amazons will become his property. If he doesn't they will go free. Theseus agrees to the fight, but having the right to chose a "champion" to fight in his place, he picks Hercules.

Hercules engages in an epic battle against the Amazon Queen. Despite her best efforts, Cyane loses the fight. As he is entitled to a prize, Hercules asks Theseus to free the Amazons. Theseus has no other choice. Cyane and her Amazons thank the cadets for their efforts. Lilith decides to leave the academy and learn from the Amazons.
