Eurythseus himself appears. It turns out that Hercules has also
been bragging that he is the ruler of Olympus, and Eurythseus
intends to declare war on the Olympians' new home. Zeus's friends
come up with an idea--maybe Hercules could make up for egging
Eurythseus's temple. The Oracle Pythia reveals that in order to do

Zeus and his friends discover another Olympian who might be able to help in their quest to defeat King Cronus in this Heroes in Training adventure.
With a clue from their trusty oracle, Pythia, Zeus and his Olympian friends are off to the “Land of Grapes,” where they discover a festival. The headline act is Dion and the Goat Guys, and Zeus has a funny feeling this Dion guy might be one of them. Athena points out that this Dion guy is the right age, and he’s definitely not acting like a regular kid. Finally, Dion and the Goat Guys take a break, and Zeus and the other Olympians approach him.
Zeus informs him that he and the others are Olympians, and they think Dion might be one too. Dion (short for Dionysus, he tells them) starts to brag that he wouldn’t be surprised, because he has awesome talents and magic powers. Before the Olympians can ask him about his powers, some of the crowd members start to throng the Olympians. Are they really Olympians? Are they really going to defeat King Cronus? Dion looks kind of peeved about this, and the next thing the Olympians know, they are in a field somewhere, puzzled and not sure what happened.
What kind of magical powers does this Dion kid actually have? And will he be more of a help—or a pain—in their ultimate quest to defeat King Cronus once and for all?
Zeus and Hercules face a very hungry giant in this latest Heroes in

from the nine-headed hydra, but that isn't enough for King
Eurystheus to forgive Hercules for egging his temple. For their
next task, the Oracle Pythia reveals that, to make Eurystheus
happy, they have to get the golden belt from the queen of the
Amazons--a band of warrior girls. Although the Amazons are friendly
enough, there's just one problem...they think that boys are stinky!
And Hercules hasn't been great at getting people to like him. But
before they even reach the Amazons, they are caught by the awful
giant Alkyoneus. He has seven daughters to feed, and the boys would
make for a perfect snack. Can Zeus and Hercules escape his clutches
and get the belt in time? Or will they end up in hot water?
