Summary edit

Description

Hercules traveled to Egypt, where he met the king of Egypt, the Pharaoh Busiris. Busiris was a bad king. He captured Hercules, because Hercules was a stranger there, and tried to sacrifice Hercules to the Egyptian gods.

But just as they were about to sacrifice him, Hercules used his giant muscles to break the chains that were tying him up. Busiris was so frightened that he hid in a big jar, and Hercules got away.
