List of Disney's Hercules characters

Hercules is the titular character of the franchise. He is based on the mythological Heracles, commonly referred to by the Roman spelling, Hercules. In the original movie, Josh Keaton voiced Hercules as a teenager, while Tate Donovan was the hero as an adult, and Roger Bart was Hercules' singing voice in the song "Go the Distance". His appearance is a handsome young man, with orange hair and eyebrows and wide blue eyes. All elbows and knees, Hercules is represented as an overgrown gangly youth who doesn't know his own strength. He often inadvertently destroys things or humiliates himself. As a gawky and awkward teenager, Hercules is depicted as tall and thin, with broad, but stooped shoulders, extraordinarily long arms and legs, huge hands and pigeon-toed feet, a long skinny neck, and oversized ears. He wears a one-sleeved Greek tunic. After completing his hero training, Hercules physically changes to being top-heavy and muscular, having larger biceps and pectorals and a thicker neck, as well as a stance that changes from stooped and pigeon-toed to upright, with the chest puffed out and his feet turned out. However, despite his bravado and becoming the model of physical perfection as an adult, Hercules still retains some of his teenage flaws, such as being shy and awkward. As a hero, Hercules wears a brown-orange brass Cuirass-like tank armor tunic with a blue cape.

In the original movie, instead of the being the demigod hero son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene, Hercules was actually born on Mount Olympus as a god, and his parents were Zeus and Hera, the latter of whom is re-imagined as a loving mother instead of a spiteful stepmother. However, one god is upset about the new arrival: Hercules' evil uncle Hades, who wants to take control of Olympus and the world, along with all of creation. Knowing that, as a god, Hercules is immortal and invulnerable to harm, Hades sends his two lackeys, Pain and Panic, to kidnap Hercules and turn him mortal by means of a magic potion. However, the arrival of two mortals, Amphitryon and Alcmene, causes Hercules to miss the final drop of the potion, causing him to retain his superhuman strength despite becoming mortal. The couple then adopts the child, considering his arrival a gift from the gods since they are themselves childless. Zeus and the other gods discover the kidnapping too late, and because Hercules is now mortal, he cannot return to Mount Olympus.

Growing up into a clumsy teenager, Hercules is all elbows and knees, not being able to control his godlike strength. He has difficulty being accepted by others due to being a geek. His clumsiness and uncoordinated strength leads to him accidentally destroying a marketplace. Shortly afterward, Hercules is told about his adoption by Amphitryon and Alcmene. This inspires Hercules to visit the temple of Zeus, where he learns of his godhood. Zeus tells Hercules that he must prove himself a true hero, instructing him to find the trainer of heroes Philoctetes (or "Phil"), while giving him the winged horse Pegasus to assist. Phil at first declines returning to the hero training business, unconvinced that Hercules was the son of Zeus, but is convinced after Zeus strikes him with lightning. Having reached adulthood and passed his training, full of confidence and bravado, an eager Hercules sets off with Phil to become a hero in Thebes. On his way, after a few sloppy mistakes, Hercules saves Megara from Nessus, a centaur acting as the river guardian, and is immediately smitten with the young woman. Unbeknownst to Hercules, Meg is working for Hades (albeit unwillingly) and relates the events to the Lord of the Underworld, from which he learns that Hercules is still alive and plots to kill the would-be hero at the start of his career. Meanwhile, Hercules arrived in Thebes and announces himself as a hero, only for the Thebans to dismiss him as an amateur and refusing to give Hercules a chance to prove himself. Right on cue, Meg appears and lures Hercules into saving two boys (Pain and Panic in disguise) trapped in a cave in a rocky canyon. After freeing the "boys" from under a rock, Hercules in reality releases a giant serpent-like creature, the Hydra, an unintended consequence of a seemingly virtuous act which has been set up as a fixed contest by Hades to humiliate and kill the young hero. A crowd of Thebans watch as Hercules bravely faces the Hydra with just his sword and his wits, albeit with clumsy fighting techniques, during which he struggles to defeat the frightening foe. Although the beast initially swallows him whole, Hercules cuts his way out by decapitation and re-emerges intact. Standing next to the Hydra's headless carcass, Hercules is quick to congratulate himself, only for three more heads to grow from the body. Flying around on Pegasus, Hercules is forced on the defensive; he keeps slicing off heads, evventually ends up surrounded by a swarm of Hydra heads, as they gang up to attack him. Finally, Hercules smashed his fists into the mountainside, causing an avalanche that buriesthe multi-headed monster under a mountain of rocks. Having accomplished the heroic task, Hercules emerges victorious, earning newfound fame and adoration from the citizens of Thebes as well as the anger of Hades. After defeating the Hydra, Hercules continued his heroics: subduing monsters and overcoming disasters. By this time, Hercules has disposed a variety of other monsters sent by Hades and the hero becomes the toast of Greece. Meeting with Zeus, Hercules believes himself ready to rejoin the gods but is greatly upset when his father tells him that his celebrity status is not enough to regain his immortality, as being famous isn't the same as being a "true hero", but cannot tell Hercules what that means as he needs to figure it out on his own and to "look inside his heart". After escaping a gaggle of fangirls, Meg convinces Hercules to play hookie, going on a date. At first, she was trying to learn any weakness he might have, but she eventually fell as hard for him as he had for her. The date is ended by Phil, irate at Hercules for skipping training. Phil is knocked off Pegasus, and wakes up in time to learn of Meg's involvement with Hades. He leaves to tell Hercules, not hearing Meg's refusal to help destroy Hercules. Hercules, ecstatic from the date, refuses to believe Phil's warning about Megara, even hitting him in a flash of blind anger, prompting Phil to quit.

Hades, realizing that Meg herself is Hercules' weakness, confronts Hercules, offering Megara's safety if the hero will give up his strength for 24 hours. Hercules is reluctant to see anyone hurt, but Hades vows that no harm will come to Meg. Hercules agrees, and Hades takes the opportunity to humiliate him before revealing Megara's role in his scheme. Enacting his plan, Hades sends a Cyclops to destroy Hercules. Without his superhuman strength and crushed by Meg's betrayal, Hercules is brutally beaten about by the monster but, after Meg convinces Phil to return and help Hercules, is able to defeat the Cyclops and send him hurtling off a cliff. The monster's fall causes a pillar to topple towards Hercules and Meg pushes him out of the way, taking the impact of the pillar. This in turn causes Hercules to regain his strength because Hades' end of the bargain is now broken as he promised that Meg wouldn't get hurt. Hercules leaves Megara in the care of his friends while he rushes off to thwart Hades' invasion of Olympus. Freeing the captured gods, he captures three of the Titans in the tornado body of the fourth and throws them into space, where they explode. He returns to Meg's side only to learn that her injuries were fatal. However, he then travels to the Underworld to rescue Meg's spirit from the River Styx, which ages mortals upon ontact. Hercules nevertheless enters the pool to rescue Megara's soul. He is able to reach Meg before he dies and his selfless act fulfills the requirement for being a true hero, thus regaining his godhood. He then punches Hades into the River Styx, and returns Meg's soul to her body. He is invited by Zeus to live on Olympus, but he decides to live his life on Earth with Megara.

In creating the design for the infant version of Hercules used in the film, animator Randy Haycock drew inspiration by videotaping a friend's six-month-old and by renting movies with babies in them,[2] while the curly hairstyle for baby Hercules was derived from the appearance of Haycock's infant daughter. He adds, "Hercules' mannerisms come right off things I've picked up from her", even though Hercules is more caricatured than a real baby.[2] The inspiration for teenage Hercules came from Haycock's experiences as an adolescent. "I was too tall and skinny for my age, and I was a lousy athlete. At home I broke just about everything..."[2] Teenage Hercules has big hands and feet that the animator remembers having himself, as well as the lack of coordination.[2] Andreas Deja was supervising animator for the adult version of Hercules. He studied photographs of Olympic athletes, not the weightlifters with short necks and bulging muscles, but the swimmers, with long necks and natural musculature.[2] Essentially, he wanted to return to the Greek tradition of character drawing. As Deja explains, this means "straight nose, pursed lips – almost cherubic, large eyes, a lidded look...The classic style you find on Greek vases or drawings."[2]

The 1998 TV series Hercules: The Animated Series follows the character's teenage adventures before the main events of the film, with Tate Donovan reprising his role. Taking place during the years he spent training on how to be a hero under the tutelage of satyr Phil, the Greek god Hercules is still in "geek god" mode, before his "Zero to Hero" transformation, and is also referred to as a "demigod" throughout the series. Young Hercules is a hero-in-training enrolled at Prometheus Academy, a high school for both gods and mortals. Since events occur before young Hercules meets and falls for Megara, he is joined by two new friends, Icarus and Cassandra. Many of the Olympian Gods and Goddesses pay visits to the young hero-to-be, and either help or hinder him in his new adventures.

Hercules has also appeared in the Kingdom Hearts series. In the series, Sora must help Hercules defeat Hades, who, having joined Maleficent's group of Disney Villains, is still trying to take over Olympus. In the first game, he is voiced by Sean Astin, but Tate Donovan reprises his role in the later games, as does Josh Keaton as the younger Hercules in the prequel Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. His Japanese voice is done by Yasunori Matsumoto, with Masakazu Suzuki voicing the younger Hercules in Birth by Sleep.

Hercules also appeared in the television series House of Mouse, in the Walt Disney World version of Fantasmic!, occasionally at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts for greetings in the Long Lost Friends area, and in Fantasyland. Hercules also had his own stage show on the Disney Cruise Line. Hercules is a playable character available to unlock for a limited time in Disney Magic Kingdoms.[3]

An alternate version of Hercules appears on the 13th episode of the fifth season of Once Upon a Time portrayed by Jonathan Whitesell.[4]

Megara (commonly shortened to Meg) is a young woman who used to work for Hades, the Lord of the Underworld. Megara has fair skin and waist-length dark auburn hair which is pulled into a ponytail. She appears to wear purple makeup to match the color of her eyes and a Grecian-style dress. She also wears a dark purple loose-sash around her waist. Sometime during the events of Hercules, Meg went to Hades and sold her soul to revive a lover of hers who had died. Hades agreed on the condition that she serve him forever, which she accepted. However, shortly after her lover was revived, he fell in love with someone else and left Meg locked in servitude to Hades. While Meg follows Hades' orders, she shows open defiance at times and a cheeky attitude.

Meg first appears on screen while trying to convince the centaur Nessus to join Hades' forces, only to have him attempt to seduce her. Hercules intervenes, defeating Nessus in a fight and becoming enamoured of Meg, which Hades plans to use to his advantage. Later in Thebes, Meg lures Hercules to the Hydra, whom he defeats. After Hercules achieves several more victories, Meg is openly smug and confident that he cannot be defeated. Hades offers Meg her freedom in exchange for discovering Hercules' weakness. Meg, however, develops feelings for Hercules instead. Eventually Hades realizes that Meg's affection is perhaps his only undoing and uses her as leverage to convince Hercules to give up his enhanced strength for one day in return for her safety; if the deal is broken, his superhuman strength returns. To prevent Meg from persuading Hercules to deny this, Hades has her bound and gagged with smoke. Hades then reveals Meg worked for him all along, causing him to leave Hercules heartbroken. Meg and Phil later find Hercules being clobbered by the Cyclops and saves him from the fall of a collapsing column and dies in process. Hercules succeeds in reclaiming her spirit and restoring her life during his foray into the Underworld. Once ascended to the Olympus, he declines immortality offered to him amongst the gods and opts to remain on Earth with Meg.

In Hercules: The Animated Series, Meg appeared twice, once as a teenager and once as an adult from the movie timeline. She meets Hercules, offering a chance to prove himself as a hero. Having him retrieve her the amphora so she can use it to forget about Adonis who she had a blind date with that went badly. They do retrieve it from Ares' sons, but Meg leaves Hercules to escape. She is immediately taken to the Underworld by Pain and Panic; Hercules, despite her betrayal, goes after her. During a fight for the amphora, Meg tells Hercules that she liked him from the start. They almost kiss, but the amphora's water is dropped on them, causing them to forget how they met, and reinforcing the fact that Hercules and Meg never established any relationship until the film. Another episode, "Hercules and the Yearbook", takes place after the events of the film and features Hercules and Meg moving his stuff from Phil's island. Hermes delivers a special package, which Hercules immediately hides from Meg. Phil reveals all of Hercules' incidents during his school time, and Hercules tells Meg he did not want to show her the yearbook because he wants her to see him as a hero. Meg tells him that she accepts that part of his life as an awkward phase, and loves him just the same. However, this does not stop Hercules from having Hermes retrieve Meg's own yearbook where it is revealed Meg was a cheerleader and in the glee club.

She also appears in the television series House of Mouse as a guest.

Meg appears in Kingdom Hearts II and meets Sora in the Underworld entrance. She assists Sora in the fight against the Hydra by providing useful items. She returns in the sequel, Kingdom Hearts III.

In all English-language media, Meg is voiced by Susan Egan.

Kacey Rohl played an alternate version of Meg in the fifth season of Once Upon a Time.

Meg is loosely based on the mythological Megara, first wife of Hercules in mythology, with undertones from another mythological figure, Deianira, who in Greek mythology was the third wife of Hercules.

Philoctetes (Phil for short), is a satyr who is a trainer of aspiring heroes who has often been disappointed by his trainees' shortcomings. He has long-since retired after failing to train a successful hero, but is convinced to train the callow young Hercules. While training Hercules or watching him fight, Phil would constantly utter at least one of his 101 rules.

After his training is complete, Phil, Hercules and Pegasus set out for the city of Thebes for Hercules to use his skills and to prove his newfound worth as a hero. Along the way, Hercules saves a woman named Megara from being pestered by the centaur Nessus, though Phil berates Hercules for the sloppy mistakes he made in the fight. While Hercules becomes attracted to Megara, Phil immediately clashes with her, considering her a distraction. After Hercules offers himself as a hero in Thebes, with Phil insists that he was the "genuine article", the Thebans dismiss Hercules as an "amateur" rather than a professional hero. Phil ran for cover while Hercules battled the Hydra, until the young hero emerges victorious by burying the multi-headed monster in a landslide. Upon the defeat of the Hydra and other various monsters, Phil becomes a personal manager to the celebrity hero Hercules has become. Later in the film, Phil discovers that Megara is working for Hades, her mission being to find Hercules' weakness. Phil tries to warn Hercules, but abandons him after an argument ensues and Hercules slaps him in his anger. When Hercules loses his powers to Hades, Megara convinces Phil to return to Hercules, motivating him into battling and defeating the Cyclops through improvisation. During the fight, Megara is mortally wounded by a falling column to save Hercules, and Phil is left taking care of Megara while Hercules fights Hades and the Titans. After Hercules defeats Hades, Phil goes with Hercules to Mount Olympus, where he is seen making out with Aphrodite. When Hercules and his friends return to Thebes, Phil is gratified when the people refer to the mighty and triumphant Hercules as "Phil's boy".

In the TV series Hercules in addition to being Hercules's coach he also acts as his best friend and sidekick. His training with Odysseus and Achilles remains intact.

Phil has also appeared in the Disney/Square Enix video game series Kingdom Hearts, as well as in the television animated series House of Mouse. Phil is also a playable character to unlock for a limited time in Disney Magic Kingdoms.[3]

In the film, Philoctetes' voice is provided by Danny DeVito, while Robert Costanzo fills the role in the character's video game and television appearances. Ichirō Nagai supplies Phil's Japanese voice, while Lakis Lazopoulos was cast for Phil's voice in the Greek-language version of the film.

Pegasus (vocal effects by Frank Welker) is the winged horse of Hercules, created by Zeus out of clouds. Pegasus is very true and a great "friend" of Hercules and helps in everything. Described by Zeus himself as "a magnificent horse with the brain of a bird", Pegasus' behavior mixes elements of both a steed and a bird, with habits such as clicking his tongue, whistling, and at times, perching on one of Hercules' shoulders. The characterization is under the archetype of a "friendly beast". Frank Welker does Pegasus' horse sounds. + He Wasn't Credited In Disney's Hercules

Pegasus has also appeared in the Disney/Square Enix video games Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III. Pegasus is also a playable character to unlock for a limited time in Disney Magic Kingdoms.[3]

Hades (voiced by James Woods) is the brother of Zeus and Poseidon. Unlike his mythological counterpart, who is typically portrayed as a feared but relatively passive deity, he is a fast-talking, ornery, lord of the underworld: a combination of Satan and a sleazy dodgy persuasive Hollywood agent type/car dealer. He wears a dark robe with a skull-shaped perone fastening his chiton and his hair is a glowing blue flame, similar to will o'the wisp flames, which flares up whenever he becomes excited or — more famously — flares red whenever he becomes enraged, and can also be extinguished. Hades seeks to overthrow Zeus and rule the universe, in line with other pop-culture Hades's being villainous due to association with death.

In Hercules, upon visiting the Fates, Hades learns that he could succeed at universal conquest by releasing the Titans in eighteen years, but if Hercules should fight, Hades will fail. He sends his minions, Pain and Panic, to kidnap baby Hercules and give him a potion that would render him mortal, and kill him. Hercules needs to drink every last drop for it to work, but ends up losing the last drop, thus retaining his godlike strength. Pain and Panic, however, tell Hades that Hercules is dead, hoping that he will not find out.

A young woman named Megara (who also appeared in the animated series) sells her soul to Hades so that he will return her boyfriend's soul. He does, but Meg's boyfriend ungratefully dumps her for another girl afterwards. Meg remains trapped as a slave to Hades, and he uses her beauty, charm and intelligence as an advantage to persuade monsters to join his army. After discovering that Hercules is still alive, Hades sets up the Hydra as a fixed contest, with a crowd assembled to view the humiliation and destruction of Hercules, only for the multi-headed monster to be buried in a rockslide. Frustrated, Hades sends more monsters, only for Hercules to defeat them all. When he finds out that Hercules has fallen in love with Megara, he uses this to his advantage and makes a deal with Hercules: he must give up his superhuman strength for the next twenty-four hours in exchange for Meg's freedom. Hercules agrees, as long as Meg will be safe from any harm. Hades then reveals that Megara was working for him the whole time, crushing Hercules' will to fight. Hades then releases the Titans, who defeat and imprison the gods, and sends the Cyclops to kill Hercules to keep him from getting in the way, but Hercules defeats the monster using his wits. However, Megara is seriously injured saving Hercules from a falling pillar, negating Hades's deal that Meg would not be hurt. Hercules is thus given his powers back and returns to Mount Olympus where he defeats the Titans and frees the gods. Hades is upset by this, but he taunts Hercules that he at least has a parting gift; while Hercules was fighting the Titans, Megara died from her injuries.

At the film's post-climax battle, Hercules travels to the Underworld to rescue her soul and offers himself to Hades in exchange for Megara's freedom. He swims into the River Styx to retrieve her soul. It almost kills him, but his godhood is restored by his being willing to risk his own life to save the woman he loves. Hercules emerges from the pit with Megara's soul in his arms, much to Hades' shock and anger. Knowing that he can't stop Hercules in his path, Hades begs the hero to try and ease things with him and the other gods, but Hercules angrily punches Hades into the River Styx, where he is swarmed by vengeful souls and dragged to the depths. In "Hercules and the Yearbook", it is revealed that he eventually succeeded in getting out of the River Styx and gave up his quest to rule the cosmos, albeit offscreen.

Hades also appears in several episodes of the television series House of Mouse. In one episode, he tried to ask Maleficent out on a date and asked Mickey for advice. When Mickey's kind and nice ways did not sway Maleficent, Hades won her over by showing his own, fiery personality in a fit of rage towards Mickey. The two were referred to by Minnie Mouse as "a match not made in heaven". On another occasion, when Pete tries to get the House closed by turning up the thermostat- Mickey's contract stating that the House will close if it is ever empty-, Hades' ability to tolerate heat means that he remains comfortable in the House despite the rise in temperature, thus allowing Mickey to keep the House open. He also appears briefly in the series' direct-to-video film Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse. He is also one of the main villains in the other direct-to-video film Mickey's House of Villains; James Woods only provides the voice for one line ("Ha – love that") in response of a Halloween joke by Mickey, being a reused scene from House of Mouse, while Rob Paulsen provides the singing voice of Hades in the song "It's Our House Now!".

Hades appears in the Kingdom Hearts series of video games. He was originally in league with Maleficent, using the Heartless to try to take over the worlds. Hades wanted to dispose of Hercules and tricked Cloud Strife into challenging Hercules in the Preliminaries at the Olympus Colliseum. In return, Hades "promised" Cloud he will lead him to Sephiroth. However, when Sora arrived, Hades changed plans and had Cloud attack Sora first. When Cloud refused to kill Sora (or was defeated by him, depending on the outcome), Hades sends out Cerberus to take care of Cloud. Hercules arrived to get Cloud to safety while Sora & company dealt with Cerberus. After Maleficent's defeat, Hades himself battles Sora and lost as all his schemes against Sora and the others end in failure. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, a facsimile Hades appeared as token of Sora's memory and the darkness in Riku's heart. In Kingdom Hearts II, Hades's desire to kill Hercules is still undeterred. After joining forces with Pete, and probably Maleficent through him, Hades decides to use Auron, who has already died, to fight against Hercules and kill him; however, Auron rebels against Hades and fights him, only to be interrupted by Sora, Donald Duck and Goofy. They fight Hades, but, due to the Underworld curse, he is invincible to their attacks. Hades then sends Cerberus and later the Hydra against Sora and his friends. Upon discovering that Sora's Keyblade could unlock any lock, Hades initially plans to use it to unlock the Underdrome, the Underworld's own coliseum. However, when Pete informs him that the Keyblade will only work for Sora, Hades kidnaps Meg and traps her in the locked Underdrome, forcing Sora to unlock it to rescue her. After defeating Pete and the Hydra again, Sora and his friends eventually fight and defeat Hades. However, Hades survives and acts as a challenger in the last tournaments, which are unlocked near the end of the game. In the prequel, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, he attempts to use Terra to kill Hercules, but Terra resists the Darkness in his heart, so Hades places Zack under his control to eliminate both Terra and Hercules, but Terra defeats Zack and frees him from Hades' influence. Later, Hades and the Ice Colossus (a replica of the Ice Titan) both fight Aqua in the Coliseum, but Aqua defeats the both of them and Hades flees to the Underworld to further his plans. In Kingdom Hearts III, Hades puts his final plan into motion, unleashing all the Titans to assault Olympus, but Hercules, along with Sora, Donald, and Goofy, were able to thwart his plans. James Woods reprises his role for the English versions of the games, while his Japanese voice in all the games is done by Japanese stage actor Kyusaku Shimada, who does an impersonation of Woods.

Hades is also a playable character to unlock for a limited time in Disney Magic Kingdoms.[3]

Hades stars in "Villains Tonight" on the Disney Magic and Disney Dream. "Villains Tonight" is a musical stage show featuring many different villains from various Disney films, including Doctor Facilier, Ursula, Scar, Yzma, Maleficent, Evil Queen, Captain Hook, Cruella de Vil, Jafar, and his two sidekicks Pain and Panic. The story here is Hades has "softened a bit" and made the Underworld a fun place. Unfortunately, the Fates tell him he has until midnight to get more evil or he will no longer rule the Underworld. So he summons the most evil villains in his quest to become more evil.

An iteration of this Hades acts as a main antagonist in the second half of the fifth season of Once Upon a Time, portrayed by Greg Germann.

Hades appears in the film Descendants 3, portrayed by Cheyenne Jackson. Hades is among the villains imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost by King Beast, despite his godhood. He is revealed to be Mal's father. Hades briefly lent his ember to Mal in order to undo a spell done by a jealous Audrey. He was later brought over from the Isle of the Lost to revive Audrey, in the act insinuating that the punishment of Beast is injust and that he has a prejudice about the villains. By the end of the film, Hades approves of Mal's marriage to Ben as interaction between Auradon and the Isle of the Lost is allowed.

Pain (voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait) and Panic (voiced by Matt Frewer) are a pair of shapeshifting imps who are Hades's minions. Pain is a fat, crimson-shaded demon, and Panic is skinny and turquoise. Panic is paranoid, twitchy, panicky, and easily spooked, as his name suggests, but he appears to be relatively smart and is very cautious. He appears to be more honest than Pain. Pain, on the other hand, is bossy, hot-tempered, and sly, but also clumsy, impulsive and liable to get into painful situations, and seems to be less intelligent than Panic.

In the movie, Hades sends them to kidnap baby Hercules, make him mortal, and kill him. The imps obey and capture him in the middle of the night, but fail to kill him, and only half-succeed in making him mortal: he keeps his godlike strength, allowing him to dispose of the pair before they have a chance to kill him. Not wanting Hades to know about their failure, they tell him that Hercules is dead. Many years later Hades discovers that Hercules is actually alive. To try and grovel sufficiently they become insects, reminding Hades they could still kill Hercules in the time left. Throughout the rest of the movie, they're seen either cheering Hades's monsters on, grovelling to Hades, or using their powers to contact Megara. When Hades plots against Hercules, Pain and Panic manage to lure and capture Pegasus by assuming the form of a female Pegasus. At the end of the movie, Hades is punched into the river Styx, and the two are left watching him go down into the river, hoping that he won't return.

Pain and Panic also appear in the Hercules TV series as Hades's lackeys. They made many brief appearances in the House of Mouse television series, usually along with Hades (though there was one episode in which they broke up Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket without Hades's aid). Pain and Panic had a very small role in the video game Kingdom Hearts II, where they are working for Hades and work at the Underdrome, but have no other purpose. Pain and Panic are also playable characters to unlock for a limited time in Disney Magic Kingdoms.[3]

The Prometheus Academy is the fictional high school from the Disney animated television series Hercules. Though set in Ancient Greece (specifically Athens), the Academy shares many traits with modern educational institutions. It is coeducational, with both male and female students, and teaches such diverse subjects as history, astronomy, shop class, theater arts and "Home Greconomics".

Prometheus Academy is the school that the teenaged Hercules attends while training with #Philoctetes to become a hero in the Disney movie Hercules. Many of the other students at the Academy are based on characters from mythology.

The Academy was named after the Titan Prometheus, who brought fire from Mount Olympus (the metaphorical "light of reason") to mankind, and was punished by Zeus being chained to a rock and having his liver pecked out by an eagle every day forever. A bronze statue of Prometheus being administered in his punishment is the central point of the Academy's courtyard.

As the Grim Avenger, Theseus is constantly narrating his every move aloud.

• Bob (voiced by Charlton Heston in the film and Robert Stack in the TV series) is an incorporeal voice who opens most episodes, but is sometimes then helped by the Muses who act as a "Greek chorus" typically singing their narration. Bob has a wife named "Mrs. Bob" and two children named "Tiffany" and "Chad".

After Homer was also captured, Hercules went to rescue Cassandra and Homer causing Croesus to bribe Poseidon to send Scylla to attack Hercules. Their fight accidentally caused the Fates to cut the Atlantis City banner causing Cassandra's vision to come true and the Fates to flee back to Fate Mountain. Hades shows up to pick up Pain and Panic as Hades notes to Croesus that his wealth is going under water and that Croesus will be in the Underworld in 10 minutes. Upon realizing that Croesus is bad swimmer, Hades quoted "Make that 5."
• Galatea (voiced by Jennifer Aniston) also made an appearance, but not as the wife of Pygmalion the art teacher (whose wife is referred to as simply "Mrs. Pygmalion"), but as the statue Hercules beseeched Aphrodite to bring to life for him as a date to the Aphrodasia Dance. Hercules learned a decidedly different lesson than the one from the original myth. Because he asked that her personality would be "crazy about [him]", Galatea becomes increasingly obsessive about him, especially when he dumped her and dropped her off on an island in the middle of nowhere. Literally, she walked through water to get to him. Being made of clay, she displays morphing abilities that she uses to endanger anyone that might get between her and Hercules. She was solidified by an accidental fire but tried hopping to him. Aphrodite changes her personality to free will, granting her a mind of her own.
• Princess Lavina (voiced by Cheri Oteri) was Geryon's girlfriend for four days before breaking up with him for unknown reasons. She quickly became infatuated with Hercules upon meeting him and, due to Phil's attempts at helping Hercules get over his own break up, believed he felt the same. After telling her that wasn't the case, she was heartbroken until he convinced her to give Geryon another chance. She and Geryon have gotten back together.
• King Tivius (voiced by Val Bettin) is the father of Lavina.
• Gregarious (voiced by Stuart Pankin) is the proprietor of Gyro World. Hercules once interned here as a project from Prometheus Academy.
• Homer (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) is Journalist for a National News-scroll, the "Greekly World News". He tends to exaggerate the facts in his writing for dramatic effect, as seen when he rewrites the rivalry between the Prometheus and Trojan Academies into the story of the Trojan War as well as getting the story on the Sinking of Atlantis City. Coincidentally, his voice actor also voiced another "Homer" from The Simpsons.
• King Midas (voiced by Eugene Levy) is a greedy king whose touch turns everything into gold (after receiving this gift from Bacchus), which wanted Hermes' sandals to transform the whole world. After being foiled in a James Bond manner by Hercules, Midas sees the negative side of his power after accidentally touching his daughter Marigold. To remedy this, King Midas prayed to Bacchus to remove the gift. Bacchus does so and Marigold is returned to normal. In "Hercules and the Prince of Thrace," the Muses sing about how Midas was given donkey ears by Apollo.

• Nereus (voiced by Jim Cummings) is an elderly, grouchy shape-shifter able to turn into various creatures to make people leave him alone.

• Numericles and Calculus (voiced by Stephen Tobolowsky and Kevin West) – Numericles is the Abacus creator and a great figure for Abacus Valley and Calculus his aid. In "Hercules and the Techno Greeks", they wanted a hero to help them defeat the local centaurs.
• Orion (voiced by Craig Ferguson) is a great hunter and Artemis' ex-boyfriend and the inventor of the "Orion Cluster." Due to him almost killing off every animal on Earth, he was made a constellation by Artemis to keep Zeus from smiting him. Hercules once freed him to teach him how to use the bow, inadvertently releasing the constellations of Leo, Taurus, Aries, Scorpius, and the Big Dipper.

He is a minor villain and the first monster Hercules fought in the film Hercules in his journey to become a true hero. Megara was sent by Hades to recruit Nessus for his army but Nessus wanted Megara to be his lover in exchange. She refused however, but this only made Nessus more persistent (which is reminiscent of the original myth). Hercules barrels in and, despite a few mistakes such as losing his sword and brandishing a fish, defeated the centaur in a fight.
• The Caucasian Eagle (voiced by Jerry Stiller) is a giant eagle who was ordered by Zeus to eat the liver of Prometheus every day. Hercules battled the eagle while trying to free Prometheus, though he lost his spear and shield in the process. After Hercules freed the Titan, the Eagle allied with Hades, who briefly turned him into a fiery phoenix to battle Hercules again. Appeared in "Hercules and the Prometheus Affair."
• Catoblepas (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) is a bull monster that Phil once fought. Appears in "Hercules and the Phil Factor."
• Typhon (voiced by Regis Philbin) is the Father of all Monsters and husband of Echidna. He was imprisoned by Zeus under Mount Etna. In the episode "Hercules and the Return of Typhon" Hercules accidentally releases him while fighting with his wife Echidna. It was also revealed that Hera helped Zeus to fight Typhon as she also helped Hercules and Zeus to repel him and Echidna. Then they got Homer to fix the facts.
• Echidna (voiced by Kathie Lee Gifford) is the Mother of all Monsters and wife of Typhon. Echidna had a recurring role in the series and was typically seen as an obsessive and doting mother to her various children who one-by-one were defeated by Hercules. In "Hercules and the Big Games" Echidna enlisted by Hades to bring her children to where Athens and Sparta are holding the first Olympic games so that her children can feed off the spectators. After Hercules defeated her children, Echidna engaged Hercules and gave him a hard time before being defeated by Athena and Ares. In "Hercules and the Return of Typhon", Echidna seeks revenge on Athens which led to Hercules accidentally releasing Typhon. With help from Hera, Hercules and Zeus repelled Echidna and Typhon as well as their latest child Ladon. Then they got Homer to fix the facts. In "Hercules and the Parents Weekend", Echidna finds that Ladon kidnapped the parents of those that attended Prometheus Academy. During this time, Echidna finds that Ladon was teething. As Echidna chases after Hercules after he freed the parents, Echidna is stopped in her tracks by Zeus' lightning bolts striking two rocky formations to incapacitate her.
  • Cerberus (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) is the three-headed dog that guards the Underworld for Hades. He also appeared in the 1998 TV series as a rambunctious Rottweiler puppy that Hades has a hard time controlling.
  • The Hydra is an enormous serpent-like creature that grows multiple heads (first it has one, then three, then dozens) every time one is chopped off. In the film, the Hydra serves as the second, more difficult monster Hercules faces after completing his hero training. Hercules unintentionally releases the Hydra from a cave, which has been set up as a fixed contest by Hades to kill the young hero at the start of his career. Neither Hercules nor Phil knew the Hydra by name, or think they covered this frightening foe in basic training. A crowd of Thebans watch as Hercules bravely faces the Hydra with just his sword and his wits. Despite briefly losing his sword and several clumsy attempts in battle, Hercules scrambles to defeat the Hydra. Wrapping its tongue around his leg, the beast throws the young hero upward into the air, catches him in its mouth as he comes down, and swallows him whole. The Hydra thought Hercules had a pleasant flavor as she let out a loud burp, then licked her slimy lips, satisfied with her meal. After a moment, a bulge formed in the Hydra's neck and Hercules slashes his way out from inside the monster's throat. Standing next to the Hydra's headless steaming carcass, covered in green slime, Hercules thought he did great. But the Hydra grows three more heads in its place. Hercules is forced on the defensive; he keeps slicing even though he knows it's a bad idea. He ends up falling into a swarm of Hydra necks, as terrifying snarling heads gang up to attack him. Finally the Hydra pinned Hercules to a cliff with the sharp talons of its foot. Thinking quickly, Hercules smashed his fist into the mountainside, causing an avalanche that buried the young hero and the multi-headed monster under a mountain of rocks. But the Hydra's talons uncurled and Hercules emerged unharmed and victorious, thus earning the hero fame and adoration from the people of Thebes. In the animated series, the Hydra is referenced several times, in which Hercules knew the creature by name, such as claiming to defeat any monsters like "zillion-headed Hydras" or seeing a cloud shaped like a Hydra defeated by a brave hero. In "Hercules and the Long Nightmare", Hercules has nightmares of fighting the Hydra until he overcame his fear.

  • Orthos – (voiced by Brad Garrett and Wayne Knight) is a two-headed Cyclops that Hercules first fought in "Hercules and the First Day of School" to prove he's not a nobody. The head that is near his right arm sports a mohawk while the head that is near his left arm has a ponytail. After Echidna tells them they need to eat royalty or at least hero, Orthos initially try to eat Hercules before the cyclops discards him for being "stale" as well as being a nobody.

In the second episode, he had escaped from Crete and reached Athens facing there both Theseus and Hercules only for to be subdued by them together and placed back by the gods.
