Gabrielle and the Amazon Nation wage war against the demigod Bellerophon who seeks revenge for the death of his mother Artemis.
Tropes
- An Offer You Can't Refuse: In the middle of the invasion, Varia is released from captivity. At first, everyone else is confused at the tactic., but Varia later tries to convince the amazons to leave so they could fight another day under the threat of wiping out the amazons in this battle.
- Annoying Arrows: Averted, as arrows cause as many deaths to the Amazons as the catapults.
- Cycle of Revenge: Xena tries to convince Bellerophon to stop the cycle.
- In the Back: Varia was about to shoot Gabrielle in the back, but Xena prevented that.
- Semi-Divine: Bellerophon
- Storming the Beaches: As expected from the film the episode is referencing. And it's just as brutal.
- Whole-Plot Reference: To Saving Private Ryan
