Long ago, in the faraway land of ancient Greece,

there was a golden age of powerful gods and extraordinary heroes.

And the greatest and strongest of all these heroes was the mighty Hercules.

But what is the measure of a true hero?

- Ah, that is what our stoy is... - Will you listen to him?

He's makin' the story sound like some Greek tragedy.

- Lighten up, dude. - We'll take it from here, darling.

You go, girl.

We are the Muses, goddesses of the arts and proclaimers of heroes.

Heroes like Hercules.

Honey, you mean "Hunk-ules."

Ooh, I'd like to make some sweet music with him...

Our story actually begins long before Hercules, many aeons ago.

♪ Back when the world was new

- ♪ Whoa! - ♪ The planet Earth was down on its luck

♪ And everywhere gigantic brutes called Titans ran amok

♪ It was a nasty place

♪ There was a mess wherever you stepped

♪ Where chaos reigned and the earthquakes and volcanoes never slept
