Part 3/7:
As they celebrate their victory in a tavern, Hercules expresses his desire to find peace beyond the seas. However, the tranquility is interrupted when Princess Ergenia of Thrace requests Hercules' aid in addressing a civil war led by the tyrant Rhesus, who commands an army of centaurs. This appeal, combined with prophetic visions from Amphiaraus, draws Hercules and his team into a conflict they might not fully comprehend.
Upon arrival at the palace, Hercules witnesses the plight of refugees fleeing Rhesus’ destruction, prompting him to accept King Cotys' recruitment despite some initial reluctance. They begin training the local farmer soldiers for battle against Rhesus' forces, which highlights Hercules' role not just as a warrior but as a mentor.
