A quick readlist btw:
Hesiod's Theogony
Hesiod's Shield of Heracles
Sophocles' Women of Trachis
Euripides' Herakles
Seneca's Hercules Furens
Pseudo-Apollodorus Bibliotheca
Didorus Siculus' Bibliotheca Historiae
Hyginus' Fabulae
Livy's Aeneid
Ovid's Fasti
Ovid's Metamorphoses
Various stories dealing with HEercules and those he scales to from here. But it's all over the place.

Also if this episode flops, I blame all the fucks complaining and calling it a dead episode, when next season we get more capeshit overdose.
This is probably the most "Oh shit thats such a fun idea" moment I've ever had seeing a reveal, and if the community wastes this I will be so pissed.

Jupiter?
Zeus in Roman

I think it's good their reaching into mythology though I'm not sure how they're gonna represent the feats on-screen for stuff that's purely text. Like Zeus' lightning being able to create fire that can melt the universe, which according to Greek Mythos is kinda hard to pin down cosmology wise especially when applying real modern world physics to it with how with our modern knowledge of what the universe is now being vastly different. I think there's also some reference to Gaia birthing multiple realities and Zeus being effectively omnipresent but I'm not sure how this scales to Heracles since I don't know much about Greek outside of what I found online.
When I saw the Hercules clips on the preview I thought they were gonna do Disney Hercules vs Maui or Luisa

I've been so accustomed to the Death Battle standard that my first thought was "Is it Marvel Hercules, DC Hercules, or Disney Hercules" took a moment for it to click that they're doing the OG from mythology. I'm interested.

Super down for mythology fights. Slightly less down for this stomp.
