I think the people between gods and humans are demi-gods, however I did like the plot and how for every head the hydra loses, two more grow back.

Hercules is the best character because he can kill a Giant Lion.

When Hercules was trying to defeat the lion I thought he was going to be eaten, but he wasn't and I was surprised he wore the lion's skin.
