HERCULES, REMEMBER WHAT JASON SAID ABOUT TALOS!

One of my fave film scenes of all time, Talos waking up in Jason and the Argonauts, perhaps pone of my fave films ever too!

OK, a few headscratchers:

1. What does Hercules take from the treasure room?
2. Who made Talos?
3. What is the name of the steaming fluid inside Talos?

    2. Bravo! Yep, the blacksmith of the Gods, also known as Vulcan to Romans! The liquid in Talos was called Ichor, the blood of the Gods.

    4. ha ha, ichor also appears in the word petrichor, that earthy smell of rain hitting soil. The other two important Greek God stuffs were ambrosia and nectar, food and drink of the Gods. Hey, just realised I've never seen the film Food of the Gods! That's another one for my leaky bucket list!
