The Conquest of Mycenae
Gordon Scott plays Glaucus, the prince of Tiryns, a powerful warrior who goes undercover in Mycenae to infiltrate the evil cult of Moloch, which is exacting tribute from neighboring kingdoms in the form of attractive young hostages, both male and female. Calling himself "Hercules," Glaucus defeats Mycenae's champions and gains the favor of the voluptuous Queen Demetra (Rosalba Neri) whose son, covered in a dog's head mask, has been raised as the living embodiment of the dark god Moloch and receives sacrifices in his sprawling underground grotto.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its myth at the intersection of the peplum and gothic horror, relying on the contrast between sunlit palaces and a dark underground cult. Using the familiar hero archetype, it explores themes of religious fanaticism and corrupt authority.
What lingers after the viewing is an unexpectedly grim adventure, where behind the muscle-bound facade lies a tale of sacrifice and maternal obsession. The surreal imagery of the subterranean grotto and the pervasive atmosphere of dread prove surprisingly memorable. — MovieFinder Editorial
