Quotes:

Zeus: For the moment, let them enjoy a calm sea, a fresh breeze and each other. The girl is pretty and I am always sentimental. But for Jason, there are other adventures. I have not finished with Jason. Let us continue the game another day.

Zeus: If I had to punish *every* blasphemy, I would have *no followers*!

Zeus: The gods are best served by those who need their help the *least*.

Phineas: Zeus, I was a sinner. I've never tried to deny it. But I didn't sin every day. Why then do you punish me *every day*?

Phineas: Go ahead, Zeus. Throw down a thunderbolt, let the earth swallow me up. I defy you!::[Loud crash of thunder]::Phineas: You can growl away all you like, Zeus. I mean what I say.

Hera: [asked why the gods set temptations and traps for mortals] So that the gods may know them, and men may know themselves.

Jason: Now the voyage is over, I don't want any trouble to begin::Polydeuces: There won't be any trouble, Jason. Just tell us where the city is and when we attack.::Jason: We don't attack.::Polydeuces: But that's foolish, you have the finest fighting men in the world.::Jason: 40 fighting men against a nation?::Phalerus: Better forty than one Jason.::Jason: We're not *pirates*, Phalerus.::Acastus: What's that girl done to you? We thought you were a fighting man.::Jason: I'm going up alone in the morning. See what the situation is.::Polydeuces: Oh, you mean spy out the land. Well, why alone? Why not take a few of us scouting.::Jason: The fewer who go, the less can get caught. Now what's the fewest you can think of?::Polydeuces: One, of course.::Jason: Right. I accept your advice.

Zeus: Hera my dear, You really *must* learn to win without cheating... or to at least lose *gracefully*.

Argos: Pray to the gods, Jason!::Jason: The gods of Greece are cruel! In time, all men shall learn to live without them.

Quotes:

Antea, Queen of the Amazons: My heart has reached the crossroads of destiny.

Antea, Queen of the Amazons: In your arms, I found I was not a queen, but a real woman.

Title Card: Immense and immortal was the strength of Hercules, like the world and the gods to whom he belonged... Yet from letter men he learned one eternal truth - that even the greatest strength carries within it a measure of mortal weaknes...

Ercole: No Jason, it's no use to go on torturing yourself. You'll never know who killed your father now Crion's dead.::Jason: I wanted so badly to get at the truth, but he would never tell me. He could read my thoughts, he felt my desire for revenge.::Ercole: And I see by the look in your eyes that your desire for revenge is bound to grow worse.::Jason: I feel it. The desire for revenge dominates all my thinking, but the assassin has no face and I don't know his name.

Eurysteus: I'll be going now, to my hiding place. As you promised, it was the only reward I got.::Pelias, King of Iolcus: And the gold?::Eurysteus: The gold? But you need light to see it well. It's like blood on my hands. Bloody, like your brother was.

Argos: All of you here in the arena? And have you all changed to his ways? Ha. Talk to the men, they speak only of Hercules.::Laertes: He's won their hearts. They won't listen to me. To my way of thinking, he could start them battling against their elders.::Orpheus: No, Laertes. Just watch Hercules, a born master of these things. If he could fight here, he could bring defeat to our enemies. Look at him, standing with Castor and Pollux. Deceit does not go with a man of such qualities.

Ulysses: My father said you put strength ahead of everything, but I know you want us to use our forces only to serve our intelligence.::Ercole: And you are right. Alright. Now, you will stay by my side and I'll teach you to fight. But not only with your hands. And some day, your friends and enemies will honor you and name you the wise.

Iole, Daugher of Pelias: What's the matter? Why do you sit and stare at me like that?::Ercole: I don't know. So few women come this way.::Iole, Daugher of Pelias: And so?::Ercole: As long as your here, I might as well. I never saw a girl more beautiful.

Eurysteus: Hercules was Chiron's close friend. He hasn't forgotten what's happened to him.::Pelias, King of Iolcus: That took place years ago.::Eurysteus: Hercules is honest. And honesty always finds the trust, even after many years. His purpose for coming here is to clear Chiron's name.

Ercole: The sun is high already. You sleep too much.::Iphitus, Son of Pelias: The pleasures I enjoy must aggravate you, but it's early, so please don't start that eternal nagging just because I delayed the great Hercules.
