Relates the classic origin of Hercules, telling the story of how he killed serpents in his crib and how he was trained by the centaurs in warcraft. Also it says that Hercules was on the voyage with Jason and his Argonauts for the Golden Fleece. The six-page feature concludes with a summary of the previous seven tasks Hercules had performed (Lion of Nemea, Gerion the Giant, Cerberus the Hound of Hades, Apples of Hesperides alongside Atlas, Amazons, Stymphalian Birds, and the Bull of Minos).
The alchemist Mordwain applies a drug to Hrothelac to make him strong, which promptly knocks him out. The scene cuts to Beowulf's man Eadstan who leads the Geats agains the Swedes in battle. The battle is brutal and at last Eadstan is struck down, but is found by a Swedish servant girl. Back in England in the dungeon Hrothelac is awake and full of furious energy as he attacks the door to his jail. The guards enter and Hrothelac attacks them escaping. Hrothelac heads to the shore where another Viking ship approaches. But he collapses and is found by a band of Celtic villagers.
