The Real Legendary Journeys

NOTE: This page contains information for the writers working on this project. If you just here to read the stories, please see the main index for this project at the Iolausian Library:

These are the stories of a time long ago…

A time of myth and legend, when the Earth was still young. The ancient gods were petty and cruel, and they played mankind for their sport, plaguing them with suffering, besieging them with terrors. For centuries, the people had nowhere to turn-no one to look to for help-until he arrived. He was a man like no other, born of a beautiful mortal woman but fathered by Zeus, King of the Gods. Hercules possessed a strength the world had never seen, a strength surpassed only by the power of his heart. But everywhere he went, he was tormented by his stepmother, Hera-the all-powerful Queen of the Gods. Hera’s eternal obsession was to destroy Hercules, for he was the constant living reminder of Zeus’ infidelity. Despite her constant harassment, no matter the obstacle, as long as there were people crying for help, he would never rest…

But, the demigod did not stand alone. Regardless of the dangers, one courageous mortal stood with the Son of Zeus, to face evil and destroy the wicked, to safeguard the innocent and stand for hope in adversity. That mortal was Iolaus of Thebes, son of Skouros, former thief, the Golden Hunter, champion charioteer, valiant warrior, the loyal heart-brother to Hercules …a mortal who inspired others with his example and who would one day come to be honoured and worshiped as a god in his own right…

These are the stories of their adventures, the stories of myth and legend that inspire through the ages-the stories of a friendship that knew no bounds between two heroes who walked side by side and stood together, back to back, to bravely defend the helpless from whatever evil threatened…

This is a big job and what we need most right now are writers. If we can get enough writers signed on, we'll each only have to write one or two episodes a season. That's an amount that won't overwhelm anyone's schedule. SO don't be afraid to volunteer. It's your duty to the fans and Herc and Iolaus to help right these wrongs and fix these inconsistencies.

If you'd like to sign on, just email Ceryndip and we'll get you and your muse excited and back to writing again like never before.

We've always heard that we could do better than they did, now's our chance to put our pens to the task and show them how it's done and done well.
