Festival of Dionysus

S1 E4: Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) uncovers an elaborate plot calling for the murder of a king (Noel Trevarthen) during a celebration honoring the god of wine. Hercules must grapple with a ten-foot eel-like creature and try and reach the festival and stop the virgins from drinking the wine possessed by Ares which will cause them to slay the king. Norman Forsey co-stars as the seer.
