Hercules, figlio di Zeus e una mortale, semidio inviso ad Era che ha compiuto 12 fatiche prodigiose per guadagnarsi il diritto alla vita, è il più grande guerriero dell'Attica, un vero mito le cui storie passano di bocca in bocca, cantato dagli aedi e magnificato nei racconti. Eppure la realtà non è esattamente così. Nonostante sia un colosso umano, dalla forza superiore alla media, dall'intelligenza tattica e il coraggio in battaglia invidiabili, Hercules è anche il primo propagatore della propria leggenda, conscio che più è temuto, più potrà vincere battaglie. Coadiuvato da una squadra di fedelissimi guerrieri è un mercenario avvezzo all'arte dell'inganno, i cui servizi vengono acquistati da un re che vuole scacciare gli invasori dalla Tracia. Anch'egli conosce le gesta prodigiose di Hercules e anch'egli ha bisogno di un miracolo da un uomo che non è ben chiaro se ne possa fare o meno.
