The Sons of Hercules was a syndicated television show that aired in the United States of America in the 1970s. The series mostly repackaged Italian Maciste films by giving them a memorable theme song and a standard intro relating them to the Sons of Hercules. Since Maciste was not recognised as a character in the USA, he was usually renamed as Goliath, Ursus, Colossus or some other name.
The lyrics to the theme song go:
- The Mighty Sons of Hercules
- Once thundered through the years;
- These men of steel could never feel
- The curse of a coward's fears!
- The curse of a coward's fears!
- The Mighty Sons of Hercules
- Were men as men should be;
- They burned with dreams, and turned their dreams
- Into history!
- Into history!
- A hundred giants, brave and bold,
- They ruled the earth in days of old.
