Okay so Herc was chained at the bottom of the ocean, but then he wakes up and tears off the chains and swims to shore, where he is met by an old wizard who invites him into her mansion which seems to be a salt cave with a salad bar.

No, Lou. That's not 'watching a witch potentially die' face. That's still 'someone asked you to do a math problem' face.

The guards are led by the distrustful advisor and also the Hot Evil Queen from Thebes, and while Herc and Cass are asleep they make a plan to carry Herc to sea and then feed him to the sharks, so we cut to him splashing in water to the tune of whale songs, while the Gods provide unhelpful commentary

⁉️ DEMI-TRIVIA 💪

Shipping Lou and his co-star Sybil Danning (Ariadne)? Sybil has admitted to having a big crush on Lou, but it was unrequited, as he was married.

She also wanted to keep the R-rated movie version. Not surprising - it would have given her certain access to Lou.

Herc is like "ok come with me to the river and i'll make a bet that if i clean out the stables you'll show me ur face because i bet that ur super hot" and Cassiopea is like "okay"

then herc goes to the river and starts Gorning rocks off a cliff into the river to divert it (presumably so they'll flood the stables but we're not to that part yet).

Maybe you shoulda taken the horses out first....

Ok, so... Let me see if I understand this correctly. Dropping two boulders into a canyon river doesn't cause it to divert. Rather it just simply goes over the boulders and goes higher and suddenly starts flowing faster and harder because of [this space intentionally left blank because apparently we aren't supposed to think about it]

Oh wait, the distrusting advisor has given Herc one more test. To prove that he is not evil he has to clean some stables with 1000 horses in it.

Cassiopea, the hot daughter, goes to meet him while he's not cleaning the stables, to taunt or tease him or maybe just look at his nipples. She explains that she's promised to Diomene of Athens but she has to wear a veil because the Oracle said she would marry whoever first saw her face.

Don't tell Herc that! He already burned down his home and his mom! I think he's got a problem....

This myth always confused me. Do you know how much water damage you could cause to a wooden stable like this? Might as well burn it down.

There's a scene in Pumping Iron that shows Arnie playing with Lou's head. You can tell Arnie is trying to make it look good natured, but it comes off as incredibley mean, at least to me.

....

He just survived blades slashing into him that just... bent... He picked up a tree trunk and smashed people with it then threw it out into literal space.

But yeah, sure, cleaning the stables is definitely the big epic challenge to try next.

After all "that's impossible. Those stables haven't been cleaned in years!"

Also, I would clean the stables of Cybele by morning if I could pat all the horses I don't care that they haven't been cleaned in years
