Epic television miniseries version of the classical legend,
starring Paul Telfer as the Greek hero, son of the god Zeus and the
mortal Alcmene (Elizabeth Perkins). Banished to the mountains by
Zeus' jealous wife Hera, Hercules is taught by his friend Linus
(Sean Astin), and is later tricked into killing his sons, an act
for which he is commanded by King Eurystheus (Kristian Schmid) to
repent by completing 12 dangerous tasks. As Hercules undertakes his
labours, including slaying the Nemean Lion, defeating the Hydra and
stealing the apples of the Hesperides, he is joined by Linus as his
unofficial bard.

Southern Rhodesia, Central Africa: March, 1914. A trooper of
police, sent to contain a lawless settlement near Bulawayo, the
country's largest city, told on his arrival that the violence there
was caused by 'government restrictions' (not true), took them at
their word and made a single, simple rule, 'No one may initiate the
use of force, including me.'Common Law would be upheld, he said
(robbery, rape, fraud etc.): Statute Law (restrictions) wouldn't.
If they obeyed it, so would he: that was the deal, and his grim
reputation needed only to be tested once. After that he withdrew
and let them all get on with their affairs. He was thought to be
from the American Far West; and his rule being based upon a moral
principle, 'Initiating force is wrong', which can't be circumvented
by the Law, police, politics, or even at the will of a majority,
with taxes and legislation set aside and everything done
willy-nilly by agreement, not by vote, sure enough and right away
Queenstown became like one in the American Far West: a free
society. But with this difference: 'No Force' eliminated government
of any kind. Question: But how can a society exist, let alone
succeed, without a government? Answer: This is what the book is all
about.
