Production notes

Gaining his superhuman strength from a magic ring, Hercules protects the Learian Valley from evil with the help of his beautiful girl friend Helena, a centaur named Newton (who says everything twice), and a little mute satyr named Tewt. Chief among Hercules' enemies is the evil wizard Daedalius. Other foes include the Sea Witch and the Mask of Vulcan.

The series' syndication was boosted in 1966 by the success of the live-action Batman series.
