Galinthia

Galinthia is a lizard-like giantess who, on the eve of Jason's coronation, attacks a group of travelers on their way to Corinth for the event. She holds a grudge against the royal family because, ten years earlier, she was attacked by King Aeson. When she resurfaces after being unheard from all those years, Balian advises Jason to capture and execute her. The prince tries to reason with her first, which goes almost-predictably horribly and results in Galinthia being captured after all. She escapes (mostly thanks to Hercules taking pity on her) and takes Iolaus as a hostage, saying she'll kill him if Jason doesn't give up his own life.

      It is revealed that, at one point in her life, Galinthia was a human. In fact, she was the midwife who aided Alcmene when Hercules was born. Because of this role she played in Hercules' birth, Hera turned Galinthia into the giantess she is now. Upon realizing who Hercules is and remembering the kindness Alcmene showed to her when she was human, Galinthia agrees not only to spare Iolaus and Jason's lives, but to leave Corinth as well.

## Trivia

* According to Ovid's account of Hercules' birth, Alcmene did have a servant by the name of Galinthias. When Hera tried to delay Hercules' birth by getting Eileithyia (the goddess of childbirth) to sit with her hands clasped and legs crossed, Galinthias told the goddess that Hercules had been born anyway without the goddess' influence. The goddess was so startled that she jumped up and unclasped her hands, which finally allowed Alcmene to give birth to her son. Angered by the deception and by Galinthias' mocking her for being so easily fooled, Lucina changed her into a weasel.

## Trivia & References

**Pop Culture References and Greekisms** - Iolaus "2"'s line, *"A pox on your father's house!"* could be a reference to the famous line, "A plague a' both your houses!" from the play *"Romeo and Juliet"* by Shakespeare.
**Pop Culture References and Greekisms** - Hercules's line, *"Let me guess: It slices and dices, and if you act now, you get a free butt-kicking. But wait, there's more!"* is a reference to Ron Popeil's infomercials. *(Slices, Dices And Makes Julienne Fries)*
**Unanswered Questions** - Tabor is revealed as Cheiron's son. He was born human (Iolaus II: "I guess you didn't inherit your father's... equine... things.") but it begs the question: who is Tabor's mother? What happened to her?

Amphitryon

* **Mentioned In:** Young Hercules (Movie Pilot), Young Hercules (Novelization)

Amphitryon was the husband of Alcmene and father of Iphicles. He died before Hercules was born. Zeus pretended to be Amphitryon when he came to Alcmene and made love to her, conceiving Hercules.

In the (Movie Pilot) and (Novelization), Hercules remarks that he wishes he had memories of doing things with his father, like Jason. Iolaus remarks that it's not Amphitryon's fault that he died when Herc was young, at which point Hercules reveals that Amphitryon wasn't his father.
Ceres

* **Mentioned In:** 1.28 - In Your Dreams
* **Played By:** None (Mention Only)

Known to the Greeks as 'Demeter', Ceres is the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility, and motherly relationships. She is said to have discovered, amongst other things, spelt wheat, the plowing and sowing of young seeds, and the yoking of oxen. Amongst her symbols are wheat sheaves, acorns, and cornucopias.

Medusa

* **Mentioned In:** 1.23 - The Mysteries of Life
* **Appears In:** YHFFS2.01 - The Enemy Within I and YHFFS2.02 - The Enemy Within II

## **1.23 - The Mysteries of Life**

* The Barker claims to have Medusa as part of his "Mysteries of Life" exhibit.

**Barker:** Who'll pay to see some 800-pound man or Medusa?

**Hercules:** You've got Medusa?

**Barker:** Well, she *calls* herself Medusa. Between you and me, I think the snakes are rubber.
## The Myth

* In Greek mythology, Medusa was one of the Gorgons, a trio of creatures whose hair was made of venomous snakes and whose gaze could turn anyone and anything to stone. Despite this, many depictions show her as being incredibly beautiful. Unlike her two sisters, Stheno and Euryale, Medusa was mortal. Her demise came at the hands of Perseus, who used a mirrored shield given to him by Athena to see Medusa's reflection and not have to look at her directly.
Thessaly

Ancient Thessaly or Thessalia was one of the traditional regions of Ancient Greece. During the Mycenaean period, Thessaly was known as Aeolia, a name which continued to be used for one of the major tribes of Greece, the Aeolians, and their dialect of Greek, (Aeolic).

* In Young Hercules: Cheiron's Warriors, Discord says, "I hear there's a nice little feud brewing between a couple of rich families in Thessaly."
Shooting Draft Episode Order

Each of the Shooting Draft Scripts are numbered, and surprisingly enough, they don't all match either the aired episode order or Bryn & Ty's Corrected Viewing Order, but they *do* match the Official Region 1 DVD release playlist order. Below is the list of the episodes in order of how they are labeled on the Shooting Drafts.

† = indicates episodes whose shooting draft scripts we haven't gotten our hands on yet. If you have any YH episode scripts you're willing to share with us, please email me!

**Continuity Warning** - The following are inconsistencies with this playlist order:

* In "Hind Sight", Hercules knows that Kora is the Huntress. But he finds this out for the first time in "Golden Bow".
* In "Mommy Dearests", Lilith is shown visiting Alcmene's. However, in "Home For The Holidays", Lilith and Alcmene meet for the first time.

Ares's Cave

*(See also Cave of Ares)*

**Appears In:** 1.47 - Mila

**Exterior:** The cave entrance is deep in a wooded area. The entrance to the gave is blocked by a large round stone, which Ares presumably rolled away with his powers as Mila approached.

**Interior:** The cave is filled with stalagmites, and deeper inside there are three sand-covered steps leading to a dais. Upon the dais is two torches and a statue of Ares's Head that is approximately five feet tall. Ares calls it his altar.
Bacchus

Bacchus is the demonic-looking (at least in the series) god of wine, partying, and excess. He and his followers, the Bacchae, hang out in a cave some undetermined distance away from Cheiron's Academy. Despite his supposed belief that life should be lived without rules and restrictions, he keeps a pretty tight leash on his followers, especially Orpheus.

Kostas the Ogre

*See also: Kostas.*

* **Appears In:** Young Hercules: Cheiron's Warriors

* In order to gain passage on a ship to Syracuse, Iolaus tells the ship's captain that he knows an ogre who can work on the ship doing all the heavy lifting. He disguises Hercules as an ogre, and names him Kostas after their current substitute headmaster.
Graeae

* **Appeared In:** 1.38 - Me, Myself, and Eye
* **Played By:** Andrea Kelland (Deino), Christine Bartlett (Enyo), and Irene Wood (Pemphredo)

## The Myth

Also called the Grey Witches, the Graeae were the daughters of the primordial sea deities Phorcys and Ceto and the sisters of the Gorgons. The three sisters shared one eye and one tooth between them, and they typically took the appearance of old hags.

The three Graeae were:

* Deino - Dread
* Enyo - Horror
* Pemphredo - Alarm

Some sources list a fourth sister- Persis ("destroyer").

## On Young Hercules

Much like their mythological counterparts, the Graeae had an eye that they used to see, passing it back and forth between the three of them. When they lost the eye and Hercules took possession of it, they sought help from Artemis in getting it back.
Arges

By trade, Arges is a blacksmith. However, he is not very good at what he does. When a client threatens to take his business to Hephaestus next time, Arges goes on a rampage to find the god, who is staying at Cheiron's Academy at the time. He finds Hephaestus and, with his portable bellows/flamethrower, tries to destroy him. He is defeated, though, when Hercules uses a boulder to plug the flamethrower's nozzle, and is last seen shooting into space.

In mythology
Arges (Greek: Ἄργης) was one of the Cyclopes in Greek mythology. He was elsewhere called Acmonides[1] or Pyraemon.[2] His name means "bright"[3] and represents the brightness from lightning. He is one of Gaia's children by Uranus. In fear, Uranus is said to have locked Arges, along with his brothers, in Tartarus. They were later freed to fashion lightning bolts for Zeus during his attempt to overthrow Cronus.
Apollo

Apollo is the god of music, poetry, and the Sun. His hobbies include sun-bathing, flying around on his hover-board, and basking in the attention of his followers. He is arrogant, lazy, but apparently surprisingly clever enough to be one of the judges for Ares's trial.

## **Family**

* Son of Zeus and Leto
* Uncles: Poseidon and Hades
* Immortal siblings: Artemis
* Immortal half-siblings: Aphrodite, Ares, Athena, Bacchus, Discord, Hephaestus, Hermes
* Half-mortal half-siblings: Hercules, Castor, Pollux, Lucius

## *1.24 - Dad Always Liked Me Best*

* At first, Lucius claims that he's only driven Apollo's chariot once. Later, he says that he gets to ride in Apollo's chariot "whenever he wants".

## *1.28 - In Your Dreams*

* Apollo made a deal with Morpheus to keep the sun up for a few extra hours to "cut Morpheus some slack".

## *1.47 - Mila*

* Hercules tells Mila, "Well, Y-you could be the daughter of, like, you know, Poseidon, or Apollo, or..."

Kostas

*See also: Kostas the Ogre.*

**Appears In:** Young Hercules: Cheiron's Warriors

Kostas, an 'old comrade' of Cheiron's and an active soldier from Crete, is called in to be the substitute headmaster at the Academy whilst Cheiron is away at a wedding. An old-fashioned, crotchety older man, he believes in training beyond the point of exhaustion and feels that the Academy is no place for half-gods, former thieves, girls, or royalty.

When Iolaus comes up with the idea to disguise Hercules as an ogre to gain passage on a boat to Syracuse, they borrow the grouchy soldier's name. After that, Kostas makes no further appearance until the last chapter. He approaches Hercules, telling the half-god that he's going to recommend that Cheiron have them all expelled for leaving the Academy grounds when they were told not to. He also says, though, that he is ultimately going to leave such a decision to Cheiron himself and that, because Cheiron not only saved his own life but the lives of his wife and child as well during the war against Sparta, he's actually quite grateful to have been disobeyed.
Crete

**Crete** is the largest and most populous of the Greek islands, the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, and one of the thirteen administrative regions of Greece. Crete was the centre of the Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), the earliest "high culture" civilization in Europe, which built the first palaces in Europe.

* In Young Hercules: Cheiron's Warriors, Kostas is an active soldier from Crete.
Ghidra

* **Appeared In:** HtLJ - 4.11 - Medea Culpa

The ghidra is Hera's two-headed pet monster. It is capable of destroying entire villages and is very hard to kill. In fact, you need at least three people to properly do it (one person to distract each head and a third to actually do the killing). When Medea causes tension between Hercules and Jason, causing them to angrily part ways, Hercules and Iolaus find themselves unable to get close enough to slay the creature while avoiding its fire-breathing heads. When Jason arrives to help, they are able to finally defeat it.
Gaia

* **Mentioned In:** 1.38 - Me, Myself, and Eye
* **Played By:** None (mention only)

Gaia is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Specifically, she is the Mother Goddess of everything. She created the universe and everything in it. It was under Gaia's guidance that Zeus was able to overthrow Kronos.

* Parents: Chaos, or Aether and Hemera
* Siblings: Eros, Erebus, Tartarus, and Nyx
* Consorts: Pontus, Tartarus, and Uranus
* Children: Aergia, Ceto, the Cyclopes, Eurybia, the Gigantes, the Hecatonchires (Hundred-Handed Ones), Nereus, the Ourea (mountains), Phorcys, Pontus, Thaumus, the Titans, Typhon, and Uranus. Amongst many others.

Satyr 01

* **Appeared in:** 1.01 - Treasure of Zeus
* **Played by:** Unknown

This satyr was dining with Satyr 02 at Kora's Inn when Hercules and Iolaus arrived. They had previously made arrangements with Strife to be there when he entered, and to trip him as he pretended to be Nysus Gaius, thus picking a fight and causing the cadets to jump to Nysus's support. Kora breaks up the fight and the satyrs leave.
Academy Dorms

**Seen in:** 1.02 - Between Friends, 1.06 - Teacher's Pests, 1.13 - Forgery, 1.16 - Down and Out in Academy Hills, 1.34 - Get Jason, 1.47 - Mila.

Located inside Cheiron's Academy, it's where the cadets sleep during the school year. The walls of the dormitory are lined with bunk beds and there are large chests to store clothing, money pouches, or what-have-you.

## **Sleeping Arrangements**

During the Season 1 episodes, the dorms of the Academy are set up as bunks against the walls of a long hallway, one bunk closer to the floor with the second bunk on a raised platform inset closer to the wall. The bunk assignments change over the course of the season.

* In the middle of 1.02 - Between Friends when Strife is eavesdropping, Jason sleeps on the bottom bunk, with Hercules in the top bunk above him. Nysus Gaius sleeps on the top bunk on the opposite side of the hallway.
* At the end of 1.02 - Between Friends when Hercules and Jason sneak back into the dorms, Jason sleeps on the bottom bunk, with Hercules in the top bunk above him. Iolaus sleeps on the bottom bunk on the opposite side of the hallway.
* In 1.13 - Forgery, the sleeping arrangements are a little odd - Hercules's bunk (which catches on fire) is on the floor, in front of Lilith's, who sleeps in the bottom bunk above him. There is a top bunk above hers in which another cadet sleeps. Hercules's bunk seems the be the only one that is triple-stacked in the hallway. The bed across the hallway from Lilith's is empty, with the blanket made, so it's possible (although irrational) that Herc pulled the mattress off his bunk, smoothed the blanket back down, and then set the mattress on fire.
* In 1.16 - Down and Out in Academy Hills, Hercules sleeps in a top bunk, with Hephaestus in the bottom bunk next to him.
* In 1.28 - In Your Dreams, Hercules sleeps in a top bunk, with Jason in the bottom bunk next to him.
* In 1.34 - Get Jason, Hercules sleeps in a top bunk.
* In 1.34 - Get Jason, Jason sleeps in a bottom bunk.
* In 1.47 - Mila, Mila sleeps in a bottom bunk.
* In 1.47 - Mila, Hercules sleeps in a top bunk, one down and on the same side as Mila's.
Gilmanides

**Appeared In:** Young Hercules: Cheiron's Warriors

Gilmanides is the captain of a ship called the *Marina*. After seeing how strong Hercules (disguised as Kostas the Ogre) is, he grants him, Iolaus, and Lilith passage aboard the ship on its way to Syracuse. Ultimately, though, he discovers that he's been tricked and, none too pleased about it, orders his crew to deal with the cadets.
Elias

* **Appears In:** Young Hercules: Cheiron's Warriors
* Described as short and stocky, Elias is a dedicated worshipper of Ares. In an attempt to spark a war in Corinth, Ares sends him out to capture a dozen centaurs on Corinthian soil and take them to Syracuse, where slavery is legal and centaurs are commonly used.

Ruff

Ruff is a basilisk who, as an egg, was given to Jason by Strife and Discord (disguised as the Babylonian Sibyl and translator. Though it was Strife who played the Sibyl) as a trick. After hatching, he immediately imprinted on Iolaus, who took to his role as 'mama' quite well. Iolaus was forced to release Ruff into the wild, though, after the little basilisk's venom turned out to be a fire hazard.

The two of them were briefly reunited an undetermined time later when Ruff, now fully grown, was found being held prisoner by a cruel traveling sideshow ringmaster. Iolaus, feeling that diplomacy would not fix things, smuggled Ruff out of his cage and into the woods. After a cat-and-mouse game with the ringmaster and his lackey, which (thankfully) ended with the arrest of the ringmaster, Ruff and Iolaus parted ways again.

Strife and Lilith

* **First Meeting:** It is unknown when Lilith and Strife first met, or if they ever even became aware of each other's existence. The only episodes that both characters appear in is "*1.07 - Inn Trouble*" - where Lilith is only seen dancing with the band, while Strife spends most of the episode invisible to mortals and plotting with Discord, and "*1.11 - Battle Lines I*"/"*1.12 - Battle Lines II*" - where Lilith is kidnapped by either Strife or Discord, while Strife spends most of the episode in the guise of Fake Cavil.
* **Relationship potential**: Comic relief and/or an accident with love potion.

## *Is there any basis in canon?*

* Not so much in canon (see above explanation of how rarely their paths crossed), but there was definitely chemistry between the actors at some point. Jodie Rimmer stated in an interview that she dated Joel Tobeck when she was 21 (which would have been a few years before *Young Hercules* filmed).

## *Fanfiction featuring Strife/Lilith*

* **Why Do Fools** by Achaea - Strife falls for Lilith after an accident with Aphrodite's love potion.

Stregna

* **Appears In:** 1.25 - Herc's Nemesis
* **Played By:** Stacey Edgar

After failing to kill Hercules, Nemesis became the newest target for Hera's wrath. She sent Stregna, who had been vying for the position of the goddess of divine retribution, to kill both of them. She ultimately failed, having been outsmarted with the use of the Ol' Tree Gag.

## Powers

Mount Olympus

* **Mentioned In:** Young Hercules (Novelization), 1.01 - Treasure of Zeus, 1.05 - Girl Trouble, 1.25 - Herc's Nemesis, 1.47 - Mila
* **Appears In:** 1.15 - Ares on Trial, Young Hercules: The Ares Alliance

Olympus is the home of the gods. It is described as having huge (but not overly-so) rooms, each with no fewer than three windows that look out to a beautiful blue sky. The temperature is always pleasant, and the air is scented with pine and filled with the sound of birds singing. The walls of it change depending on Zeus's mood.

## *1.05 - Girl Trouble*

* Cyane says, "Look, I used to think that the gods of Olympus were fair and just."

## *1.15 - Ares on Trial*

* Hercules wakes up in a tribunal room in Olympus. There are three Judges' Chairs facing the Defendant's Chair. Behind the defendant, there is a three-tiered lounging area covered in what looks like white fluffy fur for various Gods and Goddess to recline and watch the trial while eating green grapes and drinking out of tall cups. The entire room is surrounded by what looks like white cloth that is shifting in a breeze. There is no roof to the room - blue sky with shifting clouds can be seen.

## *1.25 - Herc's Nemesis*

* Hera tells Nemesis that she and her father shouldn't have sided with the Titans against Zeus for control of Olympus.
* Nemesis tells Hercules about siding with her father and the Titans against Zeus for control of Mount Olympus.

Academy Cook

* To date, Cheiron's Academy has had at least three cooks: Buterus and two unknown.
* In 1.05 - Girl Trouble, Hercules tells Jason and Iolaus that Cheiron promised them a new cook. When Lilith appears, the boys assume that she's there to fill the position, and are surprised to find out that she's just another cadet. After accidentally incapacitating a messenger, they are sent by Cheiron to Athens to hire a new cook.
* In 1.34 - Get Jason, the current cook gets food poisoning (probably poisoned by Buterus) and Buterus poses as the cook's cousin from Thebes to assume the role of Academy Cook so that he can get close enough to assassinate Jason.
* Not much is known about the other two cooks, except that their cooking is not terribly good (the food is complained about often - see Food Reviews).

**Fiducius:** The cook has taken ill. Buterus, his cousin from Thebes, has been kind enough to fill in for him. Would you show him to the kitchen?

**Hercules:** Sure. Can he cook?

**Fiducius:** It never mattered before.

 *- 1.34 - Get Jason*
**Hercules:** I lied. The cook's not as good as I said he was. I'm sorry. All he knows how to make is barley. You know, he makes barley stew and barley on toast and barley with a side of barley...

**Alcmene:** Perhaps I could show him a thing or two?

**Hercules:** You are the best mom. Thank you. He's right over there.

**Alcmene:** Over here?

**Hercules:** Over there. You can't miss him, okay? He's angry about his life and he's rolling around in barley.

Fatuus

Fatuus is a minor god of prophecy. However, he can only foresee when bad things are going to happen. One of the things he foresees is that people will one day stop believing in the Olympian gods (therefore causing them to no longer exist), prompting Strife to desperately try to prevent such a thing from happening. As their bet that Strife can make a believer out of Pythagoras, a new cadet who already doesn't believe that the gods exist, goes badly for Strife, Fatuus predicts that Strife will have to be his friend. At first, he's happy because he has no friends. However, he becomes dismayed upon remembering that he can only predict things that are bad.

## **Powers**

He was then revered as a god of prophecy under the name of Fatuus after his death, worshiped in a sacred forest outside what is now Tivoli, but had been known since Etruscan times as Tibur, the seat of the Tiburtine Sibyl. His numinous presence was recognized by wolf skins, with wreaths and goblets. - *Faunus on Wikipedia*

Ottoman Empire

Devlet-i ʿAlīye-i ʿOsmānīye

The **Ottoman Empire** is a playable faction in **Trenches**.

## History

The Ottoman Empire was formed from the Osman beylik in 1299. After several successful campaigns in Anatolia and the Balkans, the empire increase in size rapidly. By 1453, it would embark on an ambitious siege which saw the capture of Constantinople from the Byzantines. From the 15th century to the 18 century, it would see it's rise in the world stage, controlling vast territories in africa, the middle east and europe. However by the turn of the 19th century, it's power would wain as it failed to modernize rapidly to the growing changes in europe. Wars with russia, most notably the Crimean and 1877 War would see her balkan and caucasus territory eaten up, while in Africa, the ottoman colony of tripolitania was conquered by the rising Italian Empire.

### Balkan Wars

The Balkan Wars would be a turbulent period for the Ottoman Empire. A coalition of Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Montenegro would attack ottoman territories in europe, while an albanian revolt ensue in Tirana. After several battles, the ottoman army would limp from Adrianople to Constantinople, eventually signing peace with the Balkans in exchange for loosing nearly 95% of their european territory. However the following months would see a new coalition formed against Bulgaria in which the Ottomans eagerly join. Retaking Adrianople and reasserting their claims in europe.

### Berlin-Baghdad Railroad

The German kaiser, Wilhelm the II was appeased with the idea of creating a railroad from Baghdad to Berlin, in hopes of increasing trade with the Ottoman Empire. Germany sought to build an alliance with the Ottoman Empire in particular thanks to the resources which fueled the german economy. German-Ottoman relationship also increase with further investments by german enterprises on constantinople. Thus, in the beginning of the war, Germany was able to sway the Ottoman Empire in joining the great war.

### Arab Resentment

Arabs living in the Ottoman Empire would grow increasing resentment against the Parshas. With turkish hegemony over the arabs, many wanted to create an Arab nation independent from the Turks. One such figure was Hussein bin Ali of Hejaz. Convincing the ottomans to build the Hejazi railway, Ali would secretly plan an arab revolt of magnitude once instability in the empire was found.
French Republic

Troisième République Française

The **French Republic** is a playable faction in **Trenches**.

## History

The 3rd French Republic was formed in 1871 after the collapse of the 2nd French Empire under Napoleon the III. As the throne was abdicated, as well as Henry V of Bourbon refusal to accept the throne. The new republic would continue to hold revanchist grudge against the Germans, due to the humiliation and annexation of Alsace-Lorraine. In order to balance the power of europe, the Entente was form with Russia, which was responded by the Triple alliance. Following a series of escalation after an assassination of an Austro-Hungarian Prince, France was brought into the great war. This is where the Great War would take place, from west to east, millions of men rallied and perished.

### Revanchism

Many Frenchman felt that the loss of Alsace-Lorraine and humiliation of France in the Franco-Prussian war must be avenged. This spawned the ideals of revanchism, a movement of enmity against the germans. Revanchism even crept into education, with french students taught about the loss of Alsace through a black, marked area. Revanchism also influenced the Sacred Union's creation, an agreement with socialists and radicals to initiate full support for the war effort and not hinder it with strikes.

### Triple Entente

After the wake of the Franco-Prussian War, the French position is threatened thanks to the rise of an increasingly powerful German Empire. Thus, as the League of Three Emperors was disbanded, the Russians and French sought an unlikely alliance against Germany's possible and increasing power. After several hinders from the flamboyant Kaiser Wilhelm the II, Britain also joined the entente, turning it into the Triple Entente.
