Much against his better judgment, Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) is drawn into a fight between Iolaus (Michael Hurst) and a band of toughs. This causes the humiliated Iolaus to challenge Hercules to a race to Thrace. En route, Iolaus is captured by what appears to be a band of Satyrs and attempts to escape in the company of another prisoner, Lydia (Lisa Chappell). Meanwhile, Hercules has an ominous encounter with his childhood sweetheart Nemesis (Karen Witter) -- who is forsworn to kill Iolaus. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
