-->--'''Cleo Bellows''', "Hammer of the Gods"
Mythquest was a Canadian series that aired on PBS in 2001, with the goal of teaching children about the mythology of cultures throughout the world. It lasted for thirteen episodes before being prematurely cancelled.
Archeologist Matt Bellows is scanning artifacts into the Cyber Museum when he finds an object he calls the Gorgos stone. When he scans it in, the trickster god Gorgos is released into the system. That same night, Matt disappears without a trace...
Soon after his disappearance, his children, Cleo and Alex Bellows open up the Cyber Museum to find that it has undergone an unexpected upgrade. When one of them touches an artifact on the screen, they are instantly transported into a myth, taking the place of one of the heroes as the other sibling watches from the real world. They must now travel through the myths to find their father, all while avoiding the trickery of Gorgos.
