Welcome to Mythology Explained. In today's video, we're going to be discussing Achilles vs Hercules. In this head-to-head, we're going to have each hero at their most powerful, meaning all weapons, armor, and enhancements are fair game - the only caveat being our version of Hercules will be his most powerful mortal version. Hercules ascends to godhood at the end of his life, and something about the god-version of Hercules going up against Achilles just doesn't seem sporting. Although, it may very turn out that any version of Hercules just isn't sporting when set against Achilles.

We're going to start off by taking a look at the armor and weapons each hero will be equipped with, as well as an important event for each that led to the development of their battle abilities; then we'll look at relevant feats each hero accomplished to get an idea of their respective powers; and finally, we'll have them face-off to see which hero will emerge victorious.

Let's get into it.
