Looks very interesting.  I wish western developers would make more games like this and delve more into these kinds of legendary tales.  The closest we've come was Titan's Quest, which, while good, just doesn't have the panache shown here.

I love the art in that image - very nice.  It has taken a long time to get a western release and I hope it is worth the wait.  It is certainly on my "watch" list.

Well, we know it's Greek now.

The official website is fully open now:

The developer interview is a good read for anyone interested in knowing more about the game. 
 
GameTrailers has put up some gameplay videos as well:
   
 

Great, thanks a lot. I am keen on this, it looks like a quality game, and I do like the ancient lore.

After reading up on the game's development on the official site, I'm much more interested in it.  I may pick it up next week despite having just started Sands of Destruction.

Actually, there were two games on the Super Famicom... Heracles no Eikou 3 and Heracles no Eikou 4
 
1 and 2 were on the Famicom and the Famicom Disk System, respectively
 
You can actually play a browser-version of the first game, here

If you are gonna get this, Best Buy has a deal where you get a $5 reward certificate with purchase.  You have to be a rewardzone gamersclub member but it still nice to get something with it.

Been playing this game for the last couple of hours now, and I'm really getting into it. Nice old school RPG feel and lots of depth.
