Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Queen Camilla (Ilona Rodgers) summons Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) to tell him of her premonition that dire calamity will befall the annual festival of Dionysus. Reunited with the Seer (Norman Forsey) from the previous episode, "The Road to Calydon," Hercules is warned that the festival will be safe from harm only if Dionysus approves of the reigning king (Noel Trevarthen); if not, woe betide the hapless revellers. To make certain that the festival proceeds smoothly, Hercules must tangle with royal intrigue, the treachery of a certain warlike god, a deadly eel...and ten gorgeous virgins.
