Plot
In the heart of an ancient world, Hercules, the legendary hero, finds himself ensnared in a web of sibling rivalry and political intrigue. Embarking on a crucial diplomatic mission to Thebes, he is unexpectedly drawn into a bitter feud between two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, both vying for the city's throne.
A twist of fate leads Hercules to drink from a mystical spring, a bewitching potion that steals his memory away. Under the spell of a harem girl's hypnotic "Dance of Shiva", he becomes an unwitting captive in the pleasure gardens of Queen Omphale of Lydia. The Queen, known for her fickle heart and fatal consequences for her lovers, keeps Hercules entranced, turning men into statues once her affections wane.
Meanwhile, the young Ulysses, determined to restore Hercules' memory, embarks on a rescue mission fraught with danger. Simultaneously, Hercules' new wife, Iole, finds herself a pawn in the escalating power struggle in Thebes. With her life hanging in the balance, she faces the terrifying prospect of being thrown to the wild beasts in the entertainment arena by the merciless Eteocles.
In a thrilling climax, Hercules, regaining his memory and strength, battles three ferocious tigers to rescue Iole, reinforcing his legendary status. His valor doesn't end there; he aids the Theban army in warding off mercenaries hired by Polynices, bringing peace to the city. In an ironic twist, the warring brothers meet their doom at each other's hands, paving the way for the noble high priest Creon to ascend the throne.
