:00:17
Long ago, in the far away land
of ancient Greece...
:00:21
there was a golden age
of powerful gods...
:00:24
and extraordinary heroes.
:00:26
And the greatest and strongest
of all these heroes...
:00:29
was the mighty Hercules.
:00:32
But what is the measure
of a true hero?
:00:35
That is what our story is...
:00:37
Will you listen to him?
:00:39
He's makin' the story sound
like some Greek tragedy.
:00:41
Lighten up, dude.
:00:43
We'll take it
from here, darling.
:00:45
You go, girl.
:00:48
We are the Muses...
:00:51
goddesses of the arts
and proclaimers of heroes.
:00:54
Heroes like Hercules.
:00:56
Honey, you mean "Hunk-ules."
:00:58
I'd like to make some sweet
music with him...
:01:00
Our story actually begins...
:01:03
long before Hercules,
many eons ago
:01:09
Back when the world was new
:01:11
The planet Earth was
down on its luck
:01:14
And everywhere gigantic brutes
called Titans ran amok
:01:20
It was a nasty place
:01:23
There was a mess
wherever you stepped
:01:26
Where chaos reigned
:01:27
and the earthquakes and
volcanos never slept
:01:30
Say it, girlfriend!
:01:32
And then along came Zeus
:01:34
- He hurled his thunderbolt
- He zapped
:01:36
Locked those suckers in a vault
:01:38
They're trapped
:01:40
And on his own,
stopped chaos in its tracks
:01:43
And that's the gospel truth
:01:45
The guy was too "Type A"
to just relax
:01:49
And that's
the world's first dish
:01:51
Yeah, baby.
:01:52
Zeus tamed the globe
while still in his youth
:01:55
Though, honey,
it may seem impossible
:01:58
That's the gospel truth
