TV GUIDE PROMO

Iolaus joins his look-alike cousin, King Orestes, on a dangerous diplomantic mission to ask a power-hungry ruler to support a new league of kingdoms.

Iolaus assumes the identity of murdered Orestes to continue the king's quest for peace.

Iolaus's identical cousin Orestes, a gullible king who dreams of creating a peaceable League of Kingdoms, walks into a lion's den when an evil king invites him on a hunt. "Accidents happen on hunts," Orestes' wife warns him. "Fatal accidents."
