If I Had a Hammer...

A lonely Atalanta builds a statue of Hercules, which Hephaestus ends up bringing to life. This Hercules statue looks like and is just as strong as the real thing, but has a child-like intelligence. Atalanta tries to teach him things and make a relationship work, but he is being influenced to do bad by his new friend, Discord. Meanwhile, Salmoneous has Hercules pose for and judge an art contest.
