Hercules and the Princess of Troy is a 1965 Italian-American made-for-television adventure fantasy film directed by Albert Band.

The film opens with the statement that the people of Troy must once a month sacrifice a maiden lest a sea monster from destroying their city.

He then learns from Ortag (Roger Browne) the monster's weakness: its armor doesn't cover its belly.

Shortly afterwards, a boxer named Botus tries to poison Hercules but is impaled on his own spiked gloves and dies.

Then Hercules and Ulysses (Mart Hulswit) are attacked by what appear to be thieves, and Diogenes (Paul Stevens) presents the theory that Petra (Steve Garrett) killed his brother, Linus, and is planning to have Princess Diana (Diana Hyland) killed.
