Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Xena: Warrior Princess and Young Hercules are TV series that were based on the tales of Greek Mythology and all filmed in New Zealand over 20 years ago. We watched the adventures of Hercules and his companion Iolaus our entire childhood. And when the series about the warrior princess Xena came out, everyone started dreaming about the magical chakram which helped the princess fight her enemies.

At Bright Side, we decided to look back at the most memorable characters of the series and see what they look like 20+ years after the triumph of this TV franchise.
