Hercules, suffering from Post Traumatic Stress after completing his twelve labors, is tasked a thirteenth time to fight Lykus and his 1,000 mercenaries. After viciously destroying them, Lyssa, the goddess of insanity, afflicts Hercules, causing him to suffer a mental breakdown, during which he ruthlessly kills his wife and three sons. Walter's BOLD and IMAGINATIVE adaptation from the Euripides play is an extraordinary achievement by the world's greatest dramatists of historic plays. Walter Schenck's version is a superb MASTERPIECE, far surpassing Euripides and Seneca. Mr. Schenck's control of the material and modernization is unparalleled.
