Antaeus (known in Egyptian as Nemty) is a half-giant/half-titan demigod made of rock and the son of Poseidon and Gaia who creates the People's Organization of Titanic Liberators so he could free the Titans and return the world to the Dark Age of the Titans.
In the Hercules Series[]
Antaeus only appears in the episode Hercules and the Hostage Crisis. He plans to force Zeus to free the Titans by taking Hercules as his hostage. Antaeus manages to capture the other students and Hercules' friends, but he is not among them.
Once Hercules and his teacher Mr. Parenthesis arrive, the two battle and Antaeus releases the students but keeps Hercules. Mr. Parenthesis saves Hercules but Antaeus traps them in a circle of giant wooden lumps. Zeus arrives and sadly goes off to free the titans, stating it is not worth losing Hercules. Hercules and Mr. Parenthesis escape and head towards the library where they learn that Antaeus is the son of Gaia and also learn his secret: when he touches the ground, he gets his strength and powers from his mother.
So to defeat Antaeus, Hercules grabs him by his feet and spins him all around and sends him flying all the way into Zeus' hand. Zeus then locks Antaeus away with the Titans and the POOTLs are arrested. It is unknown what happens to him in the Hercules movie.
Trivia[]
- He and his Pootls should have asked Hades to free the titans.
