00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:10,060
Heracles and Admetus

3
00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:13,420
Heracles

4
00:00:13,590 --> 00:00:17,650
the greatest of the heroes of ancient Greece

5
00:00:17,973 --> 00:00:20,250
His twelve Labours,

6
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:25,600
done while in service
of the king of Mycenae, Eurystheus,

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,960
have brought glory to his name
in the centuries since.

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,830
But many other feats of Heracles

9
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:33,940
are known as well,

10
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:36,530
maybe the more precious to us

11
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:39,740
who live in the 20th century.

12
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:42,100
One of them

13
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:45,670
is the subject of this film.

14
00:01:48,660 --> 00:01:50,830
The Moirai, the goddesses of fate,

15
00:01:50,890 --> 00:01:52,890
have predicted that I will die soon.

16
00:01:52,970 --> 00:01:54,090
I've lived a short life.

17
00:01:54,130 --> 00:01:57,750
I'm afraid to leave the earthly
life behind so early.

18
00:01:57,980 --> 00:02:00,020
Oh, Apollo, I pray to you,

19
00:02:00,050 --> 00:02:01,690
tell me, through Pythia's lips,

20
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:04,250
could I avoid this death,

21
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:05,970
so early?

22
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,310
You can

23
00:02:08,650 --> 00:02:11,590
avoid this death

24
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:15,150
if in the last hour

25
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:17,510
of your life

26
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:19,050
someone

27
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,530
agrees voluntarily

28
00:02:21,580 --> 00:02:25,290
to descend instead of you

29
00:02:25,390 --> 00:02:29,450
to the dark realm of Hades.

30
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:33,760
Oh, Apollo, what joy you give me!

31
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,140
I will not die, I will not die!

32
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:49,120
Admetus!

33
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,420
I am saved, Alcesta!

34
00:02:55,290 --> 00:02:57,630
I will not die.

35
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,280
I will live on -

36
00:03:03,340 --> 00:03:05,850
Apollo gave a fortunate prophecy.

37
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,800
As soon as you had reached the shore

38
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,340
we already knew everything.

39
00:03:13,810 --> 00:03:16,410
Rumour has arrived before you.

40
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,930
The entire town knows it,

41
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,990
all of your friends.

42
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:22,300
Are those the sounds of music?

43
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:26,260
Yes, yes, I ordered a feast to be held

44
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:29,340
and it will last the whole week

45
00:03:45,650 --> 00:03:47,620
I will not go to the underworld

46
00:03:47,690 --> 00:03:51,170
if someone else agrees to go
instead of me.

47
00:04:21,130 --> 00:04:22,050
Hermes?

48
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:25,600
As you can see, you won't find
someone who'll save you here.

49
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:27,370
Go around the world

50
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:28,720
it is big

51
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:32,560
there are people whose life is
null and humiliating

52
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,920
worse then Tartarus,
as they often say themselves.

53
00:05:05,090 --> 00:05:07,950
Yes - in war people don't spare lives,

54
00:05:08,050 --> 00:05:10,100
neither their own nor others'.

55
00:05:10,150 --> 00:05:11,920
Death feasts there.

56
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:15,450
There you will find what you're
looking for.

57
00:05:29,150 --> 00:05:32,630
I've always won, and this time
I won't die either!

58
00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:35,470
The enemy will die from this sword!

59
00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:38,580
I am also fighting to win!

60
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:41,850
My true protector is this shield!

61
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,320
For him who decided to leave this
world voluntarily

62
00:05:45,380 --> 00:05:47,420
there is no reason to go to battle.

63
00:05:47,490 --> 00:05:50,350
He would just get in the way!

64
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:26,720
Victory, victory, Admetus!

65
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,280
Heroes are my warriors!

66
00:06:29,330 --> 00:06:32,080
Athena herself guided them!

67
00:06:32,180 --> 00:06:35,270
Look, look, Admetus!

68
00:06:35,340 --> 00:06:38,440
The winged Nike is accompanying us!

69
00:06:38,510 --> 00:06:40,520
We won!

70
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:44,440
Look, look, Admetus!

71
00:07:03,390 --> 00:07:06,410
May your days be long in this world,
good man,

72
00:07:06,410 --> 00:07:09,410
May the good
accompany you in it.

73
00:07:09,610 --> 00:07:13,040
There is not much time for me left
to live in this world.

74
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,360
My name is Admetus.

75
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,150
Admetus...

76
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:21,720
Admetus? Oh yes, I've heard...

77
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,500
you would die earlier than you should.

78
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,440
Oh yes, I've heard...

79
00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:29,810
Woeful is your fate.

80
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:33,010
But if someone else agreed

81
00:07:33,010 --> 00:07:37,010
to go to Tartarus instead of me,
I would be saved.

82
00:07:40,340 --> 00:07:43,960
Tell me, will I find any other
man more unfortunate than you?

83
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:47,893
No house, no one close to you,
expelled by the crowd,

84
00:07:47,890 --> 00:07:50,170
tell me, what is such a life good for?

85
00:07:50,460 --> 00:07:52,700
I can be happy too...

86
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:56,660
in the night one freezes to death
like a dog in the street,

87
00:07:56,700 --> 00:08:01,800
but in the morning the sun warms me,
the birds sing,

88
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:06,620
then just the thought that I'm still
living makes me happy.

89
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:13,560
No, voluntarily to Tartarus
I will not go, no...

90
00:08:23,660 --> 00:08:24,750
Admetus?

91
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,940
Nobody cares that I will die...

92
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,380
...will die, and will never more
be in this world

93
00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:08,500
Hermes, what is this?

94
00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:10,210
You are being buried.

95
00:09:10,346 --> 00:09:13,333
Your final day has come.

96
00:09:18,590 --> 00:09:19,840
And who is this?

97
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:23,080
This is Thanatos, the god of death.

98
00:09:23,340 --> 00:09:24,940
What does he want?

99
00:09:24,940 --> 00:09:27,560
To drink the sacred blood.

100
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:29,510
As soon as he has done that,

101
00:09:29,580 --> 00:09:34,390
your soul will fly away to that place
from where it can never return.

102
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:43,430
No, I still have one more day.

103
00:09:44,270 --> 00:09:46,230
My final day.

104
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,510
It's mine.

105
00:09:59,070 --> 00:10:03,040
My final day has come

106
00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:14,630
Live, Admetus!

107
00:10:14,690 --> 00:10:18,460
I will descend to the realm of
the shadows and die instead of you.

108
00:10:22,780 --> 00:10:24,950
You will live!

109
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:27,580
Alcesta!

110
00:10:52,660 --> 00:10:57,350
When you said "live, Admetus!"

111
00:10:58,940 --> 00:11:00,900
I felt

112
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,770
as if your soul

113
00:11:04,270 --> 00:11:06,230
touched mine.

114
00:11:06,340 --> 00:11:11,560
Yes, I felt this touch.

115
00:12:03,830 --> 00:12:05,940
And where is my friend Admetus?

116
00:12:06,670 --> 00:12:08,200
Start the dinner alone,

117
00:12:08,340 --> 00:12:10,080
he will soon join you.

118
00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:24,293
And where is my friend Admetus?

119
00:12:24,770 --> 00:12:26,450
He begs your pardon,

120
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:27,840
he will be here soon.

121
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,080
Ah, Hermes...

122
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,370
Alone? Bored?

123
00:12:40,890 --> 00:12:43,090
I do not understand this.

124
00:12:43,090 --> 00:12:44,890
I am served wonderfully,

125
00:12:44,940 --> 00:12:46,370
but the hosts are absent

126
00:12:46,420 --> 00:12:50,400
and the servants are like shadows
in the underworld.

127
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,230
Ah, let me invite you to lay at the
table with me!

128
00:12:56,580 --> 00:12:59,190
Do you mind me taking along some friends?

129
00:13:16,660 --> 00:13:20,350
Wonderful! And ladle wine for all!

130
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,500
What's the matter?

131
00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:32,980
You feel unhappy? Then lay at the table
and drink, I will pour you myself!

132
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:35,010
Oh, poor Admetus...

133
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:39,160
Admetus' wife, Alcesta...

134
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,930
Why didn't they tell me right away?

135
00:13:55,660 --> 00:13:58,370
Admetus asked them to keep it quiet.

136
00:13:58,370 --> 00:14:00,340
And say nothing about Alcesta's death?

137
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,560
Yes, in order not disturb your repose

138
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,540
with the tears of his sadness.

139
00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:08,060
Dear me, Admetus...!

140
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,020
Let's continue our cheerful feast!

141
00:14:12,020 --> 00:14:14,050
No, I have to do something...

142
00:14:14,060 --> 00:14:16,020
Fate cannot be changed.

143
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:17,810
Fate cannot be changed...

144
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:20,350
Yes, it's too late, Heracles.

145
00:14:20,350 --> 00:14:24,660
The gods of Tartarus are already
awaiting their sacrifices.

146
00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:27,010
Thanatos is already flying to
Alcesta's bed

147
00:14:27,010 --> 00:14:29,400
to carry away her soul

148
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,790
and take it to Tartarus forever.

149
00:14:54,610 --> 00:14:58,720
Let me drink the sacred blood
to my pleasure!

150
00:14:58,890 --> 00:15:01,050
Fiendish mob!

151
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,030
You won't get this soul!

152
00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:07,890
What do you want?

153
00:15:07,890 --> 00:15:09,600
Alcesta's soul!

154
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:17,040
Despised mortal!

155
00:15:44,450 --> 00:15:47,420
Admetus, Admetus yesterday's guest
is coming!

156
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:49,420
Heracles?

157
00:16:01,830 --> 00:16:04,710
Heracles, we thought you had already left,

158
00:16:05,270 --> 00:16:06,890
and regretted
we couldn't say our goodbyes

159
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,506
I also regretted leaving without
having said goodbye.

160
00:16:15,973 --> 00:16:19,493
By the way, there is a woman here with me.

161
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,990
I give her to you as a present, Admetus

162
00:16:25,733 --> 00:16:29,160
in gratitude for your hospitality.

163
00:16:29,693 --> 00:16:33,190
No, no, no!

164
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,890
Admetus, I swear to you,

165
00:16:40,930 --> 00:16:46,990
you won't find a better woman than her
in the whole world!

166
00:16:46,990 --> 00:16:49,800
At least take a look at her!

167
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,470
What a woman is facing you!

168
00:16:57,090 --> 00:17:01,920
Admetus, look, it's your Alcesta!

169
00:17:01,970 --> 00:17:07,150
Alive! oh, gods! look, Admetus!

170
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,580
She has returned from Tartarus! Oh, gods!

171
00:17:10,580 --> 00:17:13,260
Alive, Alcesta is alive!

172
00:17:19,146 --> 00:17:20,813
But why is she silent?

173
00:17:20,853 --> 00:17:22,590
Is she a ghost?

174
00:17:22,653 --> 00:17:25,790
For three days she won't say a word.

175
00:17:25,790 --> 00:17:29,110
She has to make redemptive
sacrifices to the gods.

176
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,930
Heracles, you saved her!

177
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,380
Oh, great son of Zeus, you returned
the joy of my life to me!

178
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:48,026
Stay with us!

179
00:17:48,066 --> 00:17:50,510
Ah, Diomedes' horses!!

180
00:17:50,510 --> 00:17:55,980
I have to hurry on,
for the cause of Eurystheus.
