Hercules stares at the mast of the Argo, the magical ship which took Jason and the Argonauts on its quest to find the Golden Fleece.
In classic Greek mythology, Hercules (or Heracles) joined Jason's quest as one of the famed Argonauts. In the Walt Disney Studios version, Hercules is much too young to have sailed on the Argo with Jason.
