Overview
Before he saved Mount Olympus...Hercules was just a boy trying to find his way. “How am I supposed to prove myself a hero if no one will give me a chance?"
Twelve-year-old Hercules doesn’t fit in. He’s awkward and clumsy, and his excessive strength tends to be more hurtful than it is helpful. But Herc believes that if he were just given the chance to prove himself, he could show everyone that he really does belong. Of course, Hercules never expected his chance to come by way of an angry god.
One night, a prized olive grove is ruined and the god Nike appears, looking for a culprit. Hercules’s neighbors are quick to accuse him until an older boy named Theseus steps in and defends Hercules. Because of their actions, Nike tasks Theseus and Hercules to go to Athens and retrieve an olive seed and the Cretan bull as a way to appease the god and make up for the destruction. The two set off and soon encounter giants, robbers, and monsters who try to stop them. Hercules is glad to have Theseus by his side, but he can’t help but wonder—is Theseus on this quest out of the goodness of his heart? Or does he also have something to prove?
Filled with impressive feats and inspiring friendship, the Lost Legends series explores the untold origins of Disney’s most infamous rogue boys.
