Season five of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys begins as Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) and Iolaus (Michael Hurst) head to Sumeria, there to help King Gilgamesh (Tony Todd), who for reasons not yet known has been utterly ignored by the Olympian Gods.

As part of the masquerade, Iolaus must go through with an arranged marriage with the beautiful but icy Princess Niobe (Lisa Ann Hadley).
