The Underworld...
The pit of doom...
The maelstrom of anguish...
The sewer of suffering...
- The...
- Time out, Bob.
This is a downer.
You can't kick off a show
soundin' all down and gloomy.
This is the Underworld.
It is down and gloomy.
Oh! Well, you go then.
Call us when you
need a hot song.
The Underworld,
the domain of Hades,
Lord of the Dead
and not a nice guy.
All right.
What fun is in
store for me today?
Well, your surliness,
I have a purchase
order for brimstone.
Fine.
The demon spawn of sector
three want a ride-share program.
Ahh, great.
And the torture
masters of Tartarus
are almost down
to their last lash.
Whip requisition. Sign here...
And here.
Initial here...
Here... And here.
Aah! I got to get
out of this basement!
The other Gods get
to make wine and love
and war!
They even get a
view! What do I get?
Ugh!
Who is this?
Good question. Who am I?
Oy. Another wasted pool cleaner.
What's the deal with this
Lethe water stuff again?
I... I forget.
Yeah. That would
be why we call it
the Pool of Forgetfulness.
Huh?
Maybe a dip in
the old Lethe pool
will help you
forget your troubles.
Yeah, right.
What good's a God
who can't remember...
Who he is?
Yes!
If Zeus and his God
Squad forget who they are,
I got a clear shot at the top!
My zip code will
be 90210-lympus!
Ha!
Boys, we're gonna
need some invitations.
I am gonna throw a pool
party they'll never forget!
Ha ha ha. Oh, wait. I'm sorry.
They will, won't they?
Whoa! I can't wait for the Hero
Weekend Workout Workshop.
Man, what a line-up!
"Dragon slaying
tactics with Cadmus.
Advanced monster
mangling with Agamemnon."
I'll be training
with all the greats!
Don't get your hopes up, kid.
It's not what you know.
It's who you know,
and, uh, they don't know you.
You know?
But it was your idea
in the first place, Phil.
Well, you see, I'm sorry,
Herc. You didn't make the cut.
What?
I was eating the evidence
so you wouldn't find out.
How could you do that?
I'm half goat. It's good paper.
"Sincere regrets.
There aren't enough
heroic acts on your resume.
Twelve labors short?"
- Phil?
- Aw, they just don't know potential.
When they see it.
Give it a few years, kid.
You'll be teachin'
that workshop.
"You are cordially..."
How many Js in cordially?
I put three. It's always
better to have too many.
Boys, how are the
invitations coming?
"Zeus, Hera, Hermes."
Yeah, yeah. Good, good.
Wait a minute.
"Trivia?" Who's that?
Tri-via! God of where
three roads meet.
Oy! Oy! I sat next to that guy
at the roast for Prometheus.
Jeez! I thought he'd
never shut up! Lose him.
But don't you want to
get rid of all the Gods?
He's no threat.
What's he gonna do,
he's gonna bore me to death
with useless information?
Lose him. Boom. Gone.
Deadex delivery!
A party at Hades'.
Sounds hot.
A pool party?
Ha ha ha!
Why didn't I think of that?
A pool party in the Underworld.
That is so out, it's in.
I'll take it from here, cats.
Do you know who was the first
demiGod to bowl a 300 game?
- Here we go.
- No, Trivia. Do please tell us.
We simply can't go
on without knowing.
Just throw the ball!
I have started wars
that have taken less time
than this game. Throw it!
Fine. I'm only trying to
stimulate your minds, people.
How's he do that?
Didn't you know you
get more spin on the ball
from a Cumulonimbus cloud?
How about if put
a spin on your...
Aries, Apollo,
Athena, shindig alert.
Dig this, babes.
A party?
Whose?
Hmm! Empty. Isn't that nutty?
Hmm! Did you know the word
snub is of Scandinavian derivation?
Oh, spare me.
I do not want to go to one
of Hades' gloomy parties.
Talk about eternal torment.
What's the point of bellyaching?
You know Zeus is
going to make us go.
I won't go and
you can't make me!
You have to. He's your brother.
Aren't we playing bridge with
Odin and Frigga that night?
That's next week.
But, Hera...
Oh, all right.
Apollo! You're glowing, buddy!
Bacchus, my man! What, have
you been working out, babe?
Athena,
mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm. Air kiss.
Poseidon, wow,
love that cologne.
What is that, Calvin Brine?
Nice, huh?
Aries! Love child.
Visualize world peace. Yeah!
What?
Hey! I got ya. Ha!
Ba-da-bing. Ha ha ha!
Zeus! Hera. So glad
you could make it.
Fashionably late, but here.
Oh. Sorry little brother.
Traffic on the River
Styx was murder! Ha!
Ha! Murder. You get it?
Murder is your...
Murder! Murder! Ha! Murder.
Forget about it.
Literally.
Hummm!
Hmmm.
The nectar's warm.
It's so dismal down here.
I think my tan is fading.
I'll say! Even my
shoes want out.
But I doubt... oh!
Oh, yeah.
My pool party has everything,
everything except
a party and a pool!
Uh-uh! You shouldn't
eat before you swim.
You could get an ungodly cramp.
Hey.
This is a pool party, all right?
Pool, swim. It's a combo.
No combo, no food.
OK? Capice?
This isn't a party,
this is a wake!
Normally that would
be a good thing, but...
Boys! Boys, come here.
Hey!
We need to pump some
life into this party, OK?
You're leavin'?
No, you're singing.
Now!
- Oh!
- Oh!
♪ When the weather's
ungodly hot ♪
♪ And you want to keep cool ♪
♪ Don't forget to hit
This refreshing spot ♪
♪ Or take a dip in the pool ♪
Yeeh!
We'll go punish ourselves.
Save you the trouble.
Huh?
Come on, dear.
We've paid our dues.
Oh, where'd we park that cloud?
Zeusey! Zeus, what,
are you leaving so soon?
Come on!
Oh, I was just looking
for the little God's room.
Go in the pool.
Is that sanitary?
I meant swim, swim in the pool.
Come on! Nobody makes
a splash like the big kahuna.
Dive in for me! Come on.
OK, but then I've
got to be going.
See, I've got a divine
intervention scheduled at 4:00.
Come on! It's a party!
You got to party down!
Forget about work.
Come on in. The water's, uh...
What was I talking about?
Ooh yay!
Cannonball!
Hmm?
Uh?
- Uh? h.
Calling all Gods!
Come and get it!
Uh, what's a God?
Me.
Just me.
With the Gods' memories
erased, who would rule the seas,
manage the seasons,
guide the sun?
What would happen
to the Grecian world
with only Hades in charge?
Something's really wrong.
Are you kidding? It
couldn't be more right.
These people need a hero.
And I need 12 good deeds
to get into that hero workshop.
That's the spirit!
- Carpe diem!
- What does that mean?
Got me, kid.
But it sounds go
get 'em, though.
Labor one, coming up. You're on.
Uh-oh!
Hey!
Oops.
Hey, Apollo's
chariot, without Apollo!
Whoa!
- Hurray!
- We're saved!
Brave boy!
Way to go, kid!
You're on fire today!
So is my house!
Thanks for the house warming.
Oh, uh, I'll take care of it.
Ugh!
Uh-oh.
Anybody got a light?
Oh! This bed is
as soft as a cloud.
It is a cloud!
Duh.
Yeow!
That explains
the sky blue motif.
Ha ha ha!
Where do you suppose
Zeus keeps the thunderbolts?
Pain and Panic.
Lackeys of Hades.
I can't believe the
Gods couldn't figure out.
That Hades' party was
really an evil scheme.
Ha ha ha!
Well, that eases the
pain of the snub a little.
I must stop the Lord
of the Underworld,
But how?

Zeus had a son, Hercules.
Half-God, half-mortal.
He'll do.
We'd better lock up.
Don't want any riff-raff
gettin' in while we're gone.
Ohh, finally!
The penthouse! Ha!
Did you lock this gate?
Of course.
Didn't want anybody
gettin' into your new home.
Like me?
Where's the key?
The key?
Yes. That little thing
that goes in this hole.
Well, we guessed you'd
have a skeleton key.
You have lots of skeletons.
And I'm about to add
two more to my collection!
Open it now!
Ow! Ooh!
Aah! Ow!
Enough already!
Go get Hephaestus.
He built this gate.
He can open it.
Sure thing!
- We won't let you down!
- We... we probably will.
Goddess of Wisdom,
we beseech you,
Athena, we beseech you,
Oh, Goddess, we beseech you.
Help us, Athena!
Is anyone here named Hercules?
We're beseeching
here! Do you mind?
Ugh!
Ohh!
Help us, help us.
Oh, Demeter. Demeter.
- Demeter, we beseech you! Please!
- Help us, Demeter. Help us.
Yo, Hercules, are you in here?
Oh, Trivia, he who knows so much
about that which matters so little,
who played the third
spear carrier from the left
in last year's
production of Antigone?
You're kidding.
The Grecian world is
crumbling around you,
and that's all you
want help with?
It's about danger.
Oh. It was Kianecles, the extra.
Oh. Thank you.
Kid, I know you want
to beef up the resume,
but you're missin'
the big picture.
Oh!
The world's fallin' apart!
Forget that workshop!
We have to find out why all
the Gods have checked out!
This God is in.
Trivia, God of where
three roads meet?
Oh, that comes in
handy in a time of crisis.
Don't sass. I could
have you paved.
And it's Try-via!
Big diff! Come on, Herc.
You're Herc, as in Hercules?
I've been looking for you.
Hades has done
something to the Gods.
All of them? Even my father?
Every God but me.
I know I'm not
the life of the party,
But the least Hades could
do is overthrow me, too.
He ust be trying to take
over Mount Olympus!
We've got to stop him!
Pegasus, to the Underworld!
Oh, my Gods.
Eh.
Uh.
Oh. Hmm?
Eegh!
Uh, excuse me, young man.
Do you know what this thing is?
Father, it's me, Hercules.
Don't you remember me?
Hercules?
You look familiar.
You're... I'm your son.
Of course! I remember now.
My son!
Ha! Whoo! Speaking of Sun,
is it hot down here or what?
Ha ha. Think I'll
take a dip in the pool
to cool off.
What did Hades do to them?
I saw blue scrolls of
Hades Palace once.
There were several
pools considered.
A pool of flesh-eating bacteria,
a pool of prickly heat,
a pool of forgetfulness.
Hello. Have we met?
I'm guessing they
went with forgetfulness.
What are we going to do?
Did you know the average
God loses a pint of water
through perspiration every hour?
Yeah, so?
Your father almost remembered
you when he was perspiring.
I'm just riffing here.
Maybe there's a connection.
Yeah, maybe if the Gods
sweat off the water from that pool,
they'll get their memories back.
Thanks, Trivia.
I don't know why everyone
underestimates you.
You're really handy
to have around.
Glad to be of help.
I do except burnt offerings,
but no red meat.
I'm trying to cut down.
You round up everybody and
take them to Hephaestus' volcano.
That'll make 'em sweat.
I'm gonna go make Hades sweat.
Pegasus, to Mount Olympus!
I just can't believe
I locked myself out.
I tried a credit card, no luck.
So how's that comin'?
'Cause I got a rumba
lesson in a few minutes.
This is quality work.
Whoever built this
is a real craftsman.
You built it. Congratulate
yourself later.
Just open the thing now!
Ow!
As a hero in training,
I must ask you to step
away from the gate.
Well, as the God in charge,
I must ask you to get lost!
I am empowered by
the might of all Olympus!
Yeah, yeah, good for you.
Oh, hey, pal, I just remembered
that you're not my handyman.
What was I thinking?
You're my bouncer!
Bounce him!
Gotcha.
Arrgh!
Arrh.
Aah!
You know, I delegate well.
Work it out, people.
Feel the burn.
It's coming back to me.
I'm someone important.
Someone people look up to.
Why, I must be... Supermodel!
Ha! I'm too sexy.
Aah!
You're going down!
Ow!
You OK, pal?
I'll be OK as long
as I have you.
Aye! Y-you're scarin' me.
Ahh!
There's nothing
like closing escrow.
Well, see ya later, loser boy!
Actually I won't be seeing you
because I'll hear you
knockin' but you can't come in.
Aah!
- Trivia!
- That's Try-via.
How did you get in there?
There's a little-known
back door I know about.
Never underestimate
the power of Trivia.
You're no threat to me.
What are you, crazy?
Did you know Zeus' thunderbolts
can burn away a God's hide
in less than two nanoseconds?
Try-via, pal, try
this on for size.
You take the west wing,
and I'll take the east wing.
We can do, like,
a duo deity-dealy.
What do say? We'll
schmooze and carry on.
Nice try, Hades!
You've got some
explaining to do.
What's to explain?
You lost your mind.
I was house-sitting.
Hey, speaking of houses,
I better get back to
mine. Ciao, babe. Ciao.
Oh, you have done well, son.
Some day the gates of
Olympus will open for you.
Really? I'm a God? A nice one?
You're pullin' my leg.
Hit the sauna. It'll
come back to you.
Trust me.
Don't be a stranger, son!
Trivia...
Try-via.
We need to get to
know each other better.
Sit next to me at dinner.
On the left or on the right?
Did you know that sitting
on the right hand of a God
signifies power,
while sitting on the left
means pass the condiments.
Er, I just remembered,
I already ate.
You're in, kid! You're in!
In what?
The Hero Weekend
Workout Workshop!
And you're headlining! Look!
"Due to an abacus error, we
underestimated your talent.
We'd like you to be a
guest speaker at our forum?
High-level heroics
with Hercules"!
Wow! I'm teaching a class!
Give me Five!
Aah!
Oy! Next time, give me one.

Zeus had a son, Hercules.
Half-God, half-mortal.
He'll do.
We'd better lock up.
Don't want any riff-raff
gettin' in while we're gone.
Ohh, finally!
The penthouse! Ha!
Did you lock this gate?
Of course.
Didn't want anybody
gettin' into your new home.
Like me?
Where's the key?
The key?
Yes. That little thing
that goes in this hole.
Well, we guessed you'd
have a skeleton key.
You have lots of skeletons.
And I'm about to add
two more to my collection!
Open it now!
Ow! Ooh!
Aah! Ow!
Enough already!
Go get Hephaestus.
He built this gate.
He can open it.
Sure thing!
- We won't let you down!
- We... we probably will.
Goddess of Wisdom,
we beseech you,
Athena, we beseech you,
Oh, Goddess, we beseech you.
Help us, Athena!
Is anyone here named Hercules?
We're beseeching
here! Do you mind?
Ugh!
Ohh!
Help us, help us.
Oh, Demeter. Demeter.
- Demeter, we beseech you! Please!
- Help us, Demeter. Help us.
Yo, Hercules, are you in here?
Oh, Trivia, he who knows so much
about that which matters so little,
who played the third
spear carrier from the left
in last year's
production of Antigone?
You're kidding.
The Grecian world is
crumbling around you,
and that's all you
want help with?
It's about danger.
Oh. It was Kianecles, the extra.
Oh. Thank you.
Kid, I know you want
to beef up the resume,
but you're missin'
the big picture.
Oh!
The world's fallin' apart!
Forget that workshop!
We have to find out why all
the Gods have checked out!
This God is in.
Trivia, God of where
three roads meet?
Oh, that comes in
handy in a time of crisis.
Don't sass. I could
have you paved.
And it's Try-via!
Big diff! Come on, Herc.
You're Herc, as in Hercules?
I've been looking for you.
Hades has done
something to the Gods.
All of them? Even my father?
Every God but me.
I know I'm not
the life of the party,
But the least Hades could
do is overthrow me, too.
He ust be trying to take
over Mount Olympus!
We've got to stop him!
Pegasus, to the Underworld!
Oh, my Gods.
Eh.
Uh.
Oh. Hmm?
Eegh!
Uh, excuse me, young man.
Do you know what this thing is?
Father, it's me, Hercules.
Don't you remember me?
Hercules?
You look familiar.
You're... I'm your son.
Of course! I remember now.
My son!
Ha! Whoo! Speaking of Sun,
is it hot down here or what?
Ha ha. Think I'll
take a dip in the pool
to cool off.
What did Hades do to them?
I saw blue scrolls of
Hades Palace once.
There were several
pools considered.
A pool of flesh-eating bacteria,
a pool of prickly heat,
a pool of forgetfulness.
Hello. Have we met?
I'm guessing they
went with forgetfulness.
What are we going to do?
Did you know the average
God loses a pint of water
through perspiration every hour?
Yeah, so?
Your father almost remembered
you when he was perspiring.
I'm just riffing here.
Maybe there's a connection.
Yeah, maybe if the Gods
sweat off the water from that pool,
they'll get their memories back.
Thanks, Trivia.
I don't know why everyone
underestimates you.
You're really handy
to have around.
Glad to be of help.
I do except burnt offerings,
but no red meat.
I'm trying to cut down.
You round up everybody and
take them to Hephaestus' volcano.
That'll make 'em sweat.
I'm gonna go make Hades sweat.
Pegasus, to Mount Olympus!
I just can't believe
I locked myself out.
I tried a credit card, no luck.
So how's that comin'?
'Cause I got a rumba
lesson in a few minutes.
This is quality work.
Whoever built this
is a real craftsman.
You built it. Congratulate
yourself later.
Just open the thing now!
Ow!
As a hero in training,
I must ask you to step
away from the gate.
Well, as the God in charge,
I must ask you to get lost!
I am empowered by
the might of all Olympus!
Yeah, yeah, good for you.
Oh, hey, pal, I just remembered
that you're not my handyman.
What was I thinking?
You're my bouncer!
Bounce him!
Gotcha.
Arrgh!
Arrh.
Aah!
You know, I delegate well.
Work it out, people.
Feel the burn.
It's coming back to me.
I'm someone important.
Someone people look up to.
Why, I must be... Supermodel!
Ha! I'm too sexy.
Aah!
You're going down!
Ow!
You OK, pal?
I'll be OK as long
as I have you.
Aye! Y-you're scarin' me.
Ahh!
There's nothing
like closing escrow.
Well, see ya later, loser boy!
Actually I won't be seeing you
because I'll hear you
knockin' but you can't come in.
Aah!
- Trivia!
- That's Try-via.
How did you get in there?
There's a little-known
back door I know about.
Never underestimate
the power of Trivia.
You're no threat to me.
What are you, crazy?
Did you know Zeus' thunderbolts
can burn away a God's hide
in less than two nanoseconds?
Try-via, pal, try
this on for size.
You take the west wing,
and I'll take the east wing.
We can do, like,
a duo deity-dealy.
What do say? We'll
schmooze and carry on.
Nice try, Hades!
You've got some
explaining to do.
What's to explain?
You lost your mind.
I was house-sitting.
Hey, speaking of houses,
I better get back to
mine. Ciao, babe. Ciao.
Oh, you have done well, son.
Some day the gates of
Olympus will open for you.
Really? I'm a God? A nice one?
You're pullin' my leg.
Hit the sauna. It'll
come back to you.
Trust me.
Don't be a stranger, son!
Trivia...
Try-via.
We need to get to
know each other better.
Sit next to me at dinner.
On the left or on the right?
Did you know that sitting
on the right hand of a God
signifies power,
while sitting on the left
means pass the condiments.
Er, I just remembered,
I already ate.
You're in, kid! You're in!
In what?
