Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Near the beginning of the movie, Hades reveals his plot to take over Olympus. Who does he seek out in order to gain reassurance he will achieve this?

Answer: The Fates

Hades meets with The Fates regarding this, and they tell him what he must do in order to achieve this. However, The Fates reveal that if Hercules were to fight, he would fail.

2. Seeing the strong Hercules as a large threat in the future, who does Hades send to steal him?

Answer: Pain and Panic

Hades sends his minions Pain and Panic to steal Hercules, who is just a baby at the time. After succeeding, they force him to drink a potion that will turn him mortal. They are interrupted before he could finish the potion, so Hercules still retains his mighty strength.

3. Amphitryon and Alcmene find the baby all alone and adopt him as their own. What do Hercules' foster parents do for a living?

Answer: Farmers

Both Amphitryon and Alcmene are farmers. At one point, we see Hercules running into town dragging a large pile of hay.

Answer: Thebes

Feeling that Hercules is not trained enough to take on the best of the best in battle, he takes him to Thebes, a town in much turmoil. Phil thinks that Hercules can get a reputation and gain experience there.

5. While on the road test, who does Hercules have to battle first?

Answer: Centaur

On the way to Thebes, a scream is heard from a "damsel in distress". Megara, the damsel, is being held by Nessus, the Centaur. Hercules fights him and knocks the Centaur unconscious so that she can escape.

6. It is soon revealed that the damsel Meg is working for Hades. Why does she work for Hades?

Answer: She sold her soul

Meg is forced to work for Hades. She had sold her soul to him to save her boyfriend's life, who ended up running away with another girl afterwards. She despises it, but she must work for Hades.

Answer: Hats

There are a line of sandals called "Air-Hercs", drinks called "Herculade", and shirts with the Hercules "H" on them. He is also portrayed as an action figure and has paintings of him done. There were no hats with a "Hercules" label.

8. Eighteen years have passed since Hercules was born, and the planets have aligned. Hades seeks this opportunity to rescue an entrapped race. Who does he rescue?

Answer: The Titans

Hades takes this rare time of alignment to set free the Titans, who despise Zeus for imprisoning them at the bottom of the ocean many years ago. Hades seeks to use them to take over Olympus.

9. While Hades is trying to succeed in taking over Olympus, there is a casualty. Who is killed during the uprising?

Answer: Meg

Hercules is battling face-to-face with The Cyclops when a pillar is about to fall on Hercules. Meg pushes him out of the way and gets crushed by the pillar. When asking why she took the hit for him, Meg tells Hercules that "People do crazy things, when they're in love."

10. Doing everything he can to get Meg back, Hercules goes to the Underworld to try and retrieve her. What does he NOT do in the process, though he was willing to do so?

Answer: Switching places with Meg

Hercules rides Cerberus as if on horseback to get through to Hades in the Underworld. Hades is refusing to hand Meg over to him. Realizing Hades likes making deals, Hercules says that he will take Meg's place. Hades agrees to the deal, but once Hercules rescues Meg, his godhood is restored.

He risked his life to save her, so he was once again a god and therefore could not stay in the river Styx.
