Plot summary
Emilius the Mighty, known as Goliath of Thebes for his extraordinary strength, is devoted to the God of Vengeance and to the Goddess of Four Winds, who grant him immortality in his fights against mortals. He is admired by friends and foes alike. King Eurystheus, a tyrant, does not believe in that immortality and wants Goliath dead and Thebes conquered. The king takes the Blood Diamond from its god and conceals it in the Cave of Horrors, whose guardians are a Cerberus and a dragon. Goliath pledges to bring the diamond back, leaving his wife Dejanira and his people behind. With Goliath away, Eurystheus prepares to invade Thebes.
