Goliath and the Dragon

Set in a mythic, ancient world of gods, monsters and heroic quests. The Twelve Labours frame the era as a time of tests, prophecies and divine interference. The period is defined by heroic feats, divine schemes, and fatal destinies rather than modern chronology.

Set against a mythic landscape that spans the Underworld, Thebes, a public arena, and Hercules' home. In the underworld, Hercules battles monsters to retrieve the blood diamond. Thebes is the center of royal plots where Eurystheus schemes against him. The arena and the hero's home anchor the story, contrasting public spectacle with private peril and the looming prophecy.

🔮 Fate

A central thread is prophecy guiding key choices, such as Hyllus' fate and the cost to be paid by the woman who loves Hercules. Gods and oracles cast a shadow over every decision, pushing characters toward predetermined outcomes. The plot turns on efforts to avert or fulfill a destiny that seems to control the living world.

🗡️ Betrayal

Eurystheus corrupts royal power by manipulating Hyllus and orchestrating plans to weaken Hercules. His schemes hinge on jealousy and political maneuvering, using hostages and threats to achieve his end. The drama shows how ambition can drive friends and family into deadly conflict.

🛡️ Heroism

Hercules battles monsters, rescues allies from execution and bears the burden of protecting his family. His courage is tested by underworld trials, palace intrigues, and personal sacrifice. Despite manipulation and danger, he persists to shield loved ones and counter prophecy.
