Hercules, Iolaus, Jason, and Lilith enter the annual Corinthian Games as a team. Since this is Jason's last year at the academy, this is his final chance to be eligible to participate in the event. Teaming up together for this event means a lot to all of the cadets. Hercules is surprised to meet two more demigods who are participants. They are Castor and Pollux, who are also sons of Zeus. Castor is down to earth and friendly, but Pollux exploits the fact he is Zeus' son by thinking he is better than everyone else. Pollux and Castor convince Hercules to join their team.
Things get tense between Jason's team and Hercules' team when Pollux cheats to win a race. The temperamental Pollux goads Jason into fighting him in the Pancrathea -- a brutal fighting match illegal in Corinth. Out to prove the Prince of Corinth can beat a son of Zeus, Jason refuses Hercules' suggestion to stand down. Hercules ends up defending his friend when Pollux bests him horribly during the fight. Pollux leaves in defeat while Hercules makes amends with Jason and the others.
