Continuing on with the Labours of Heracles, Eurystheus was determined to ensure the hero failed. Previous Labours occurred in the regions of Greece near Mycenae, but it was time to send Heracles further away and hope he never returned. These next Labours took Heracles to places on the fringes of the ancient Greek civilization, to the ends of the earth, and even beyond. The hero would face off against fabulous creatures and powerful enemies. 

This episode (43) covers the last 6 of the Labours of Heracles.

- Acquiring the Belt of the Amazonian Queen Hippolyta

- Cattle-rustling the herds of the giant Geryon

- Going on a treasure hunt for the Golden Apples of the Hesperides

- Fetching Cerberos, the guard dog of the underworld
