"In an age of light and darkness Zeus, King of the Gods, rules the universe. He had a son, young Hercules. Half-god, half-man, young Hercules longs to find his place in this world... the father he's never known, and what it means to be a hero. Before the man became legend... before the legend became myth... came the greatest adventure of all... young Hercules."

Young Hercules is the prequel and spinoff to Hercules the Legendary Journeys. The show followed Hercules, his best friend Iolaus, and Jason, the young King of Corinth. They traveled Greece fighting monsters and the Olympian gods.
