 This was to be a television series titled "Hercules". The premise of  the series had Hercules (Gordon Scott) as the master of the ship  Olympia, along with Diogenes (Paul Stewart), returning the young  Ulysses (Mart Hulswit) to Thebes. Each episode would have the ship  stopping at various locations where they would face challenges and  adventures. The producers were planning to recruit U.S. actors  familiar to American TV viewers, and especially actors who were  already in Europe working on other projects.
