Most people remember how they defeated monsters, conquered kingdoms, and earned eternal fame. Few remember how they died. In this documentary, we explore the final moments of ten of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology—from Odysseus, who survived the Trojan War only to be killed by his own unknown son, to Heracles, whose unmatched strength could not save him from a poisoned robe, and Achilles, whose legendary invincibility ended with a single arrow.
