While Salmoneus is trying out new business exploits (such as air sandals etc.), Theseus, another underling of whom the Centaur Ceridian is mentoring, comes with news to Hercules that he's dying. Hercules and Salmoneus travel to see Ceridian......who informs him of another he is trying to mentor--Cassius. Ceridian is worried Cassius may use his powers in undesired way and wishes Hercules to 'set him right' that way he can die a happy man.
