Comments:
This story is told at a Liars' Club, and the events depicted are not part of regular continuity.

Synopsis:
Liars' Club member Mr. Boyle tells a tale in which Superman goes back in time to ancient Greece to meet the famous Hercules. He discovers that Hercules is actually a weakling. Superman helps Hercules complete Zeus's tasks and earn the love of Iole. The Man of Steel also teaches Hercules how to fight, so despite his less than super-strength Hercules is able to beat his rival Achelous.
