The Gods – a mythological squabble

In ancient mythology Greece and Rome had many things in common.  For instance the 12 Greek gods of Olympus, e.g., Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Aphrodite, etc., had equivalent Roman gods with similar powers, e.g., Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Venus and so on.  These similarities sometimes lead to disputes about who was the more powerful.

Zeus and Jupiter set a challenge between their respective sons Heracles and Hercules to see who will be the first to retrieve the golden apples from the Garden of Hesperides. It is not long before all the Gods on both sides get involved in this mythological squabble unleashing a multitude of tasks, crazy antics, fun and adventures of almighty proportions. Which side will win?
