Hercules — son of Zeus and champion of humankind — stricken with a temporary curse of madness, has just committed the most unspeakable crime imaginable. Seeking to atone for the deaths of his family, Hercules must complete twelve impossible tasks that pit him against invincible monsters and unfathomable forces. Alex Gendler retells this epic series of adventures.

This style is so cool and the little details or jokes are adorable, like the water flooding away the guy‘s clothes or the gods being listed in the credits. This is the best ted-ed video I‘ve ever watched
-
The Myth of Hercules has potential for a great indie game. The artists behind the pixel art and animations of these video are absolutely amazing.
-
The heroes are the animators
-
Hera logic: Husband does the adultery. Hates Hercules

I am not a native English speaker, and also the one who afraid of reading ancient myths because of too many hard words to start and persist in reading it. This video truly helps and I am really grateful for Ted ed’s devotion with free payment! Thanks god!

Hercules: "Amazon queen, I have come for your-" Amazon Queen: "Just take the belt." Hercules: "Oh, cool."

"a giant with three heads, and three bodies." so... three giants?

The face of Cerberus when he started walking was great

"... frightening King Eurystheus so much that he hid in a wine jar. " Seems legit
-
If Zeus was a hand sanitizer, his bottle would say "Causes 99.9% of problems in Greek Mythology because I couldn't keep it in my pants."
-
Eurystes: "I'm gonna shame this broken man even more." Hercules: "You underestimate the pain I felt when I killed my own family."
