Hercules Unchained:
While travelling, Hercules (Steve Reeves) is asked to intervene in a quarrel between two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, (Sergio Fantoni and Mimmo Palmara) over who should rule Thebes. Before he can complete this task, Hercules drinks from a magic spring and is hypnotized by a harem girl Colleen Bennett who dances the "Dance of Shiva", loses his memory and becomes the captive of Queen Omphale of Lydia (Sylvia Lopez). The Queen keeps men until she tires of them, then has them made into statues. While young Ulysses (Gabriel Antonini) tries to help him regain his memory, Hercules' wife, Iole (Sylva Koscina), finds herself in danger from Eteocles, current ruler of Thebes, who plans on throwing her to the wild beasts in his entertainment arena. Hercules slays three tigers in succession and rescues his wife, then assists the Theban army in repelling mercenary attackers hired by Polynices. The two brothers ultimately fight one another for the throne and end up killing each other; the good high priest Creon is elected by acclaim. Cast includes Fulvio Carrara as Castor, Willi Colombini as Pollux, Gian Paolo Rosmino as Aesculapius, Gino Mattera as Orpheus repeating their roles from the previous Hercules film, and Primo Carnera as the giant Antaeus, Cesare Fantoni as King Oedipus, and Carlo D'Angelo as High Priest Creon.
Colleen Bennett was the prima ballerina, who danced "The Dance of Shiva" which was used to hypnotize Hercules as he drank the waters of forgetfulness.
