Description from the packaging:

The greatest adventures in history.

You left the body of the god-like Achilles floating in Hydra's vile pool. The Medusa slew Odysseus and the mighty Ajax before you stained the dust with her blood. Of all your heroic company, you alone have survived to face Zeus - and the last of his twelve deadly tasks.

The Return of Heracles.

You'll battle over 250 different monsters from Greek mythology, like the half man, half bull Minotaur and the multi headed Hydra. You'll enrich your education while fighting for your life.
Explore 61 different rooms and places like Mt. Olympus and Troy. Lots of intricate puzzles, clues and "specials."

Create your own band of heroes to take through the adventure. There are 19 different heroes to choose from. You can even play all 19 at once!

Each character's attributes, which include strength, dexterity, vigor, weaponry, and speed, can be improved over the course of the game.

The ferocity of the ambush forces your back against the glittering tunnel wall. With a sudden cry, the Halfling charges - only to be cut down by the thieves' flashing blades. Your hand tightens on your dagger as your band prepares to face the coming attack. Allah willing, there will be many opportunities to avenge the death of your friend.
