Games of the Gods

Show Synopsis:

In ancient mythology many Greek Gods of Olympus, e.g., Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite and Ares were copied by Roman Gods who had similar powers, e.g., Jupiter, Juno, Venus and Mars. This sparks lively competition. During one squabble about who was most powerful Zeus and Jupiter set a challenge between their respective sons Heracles and Hercules, to retrieve the golden apples from the Garden of Hesperides. Along the way they meet many mythological Gods, face death defying feats and joyously invent a range of team sports and gym workouts.
