During his song, Phil complains about getting "the greenhorn" while his horns are actually covered in green olives.olives.
** When Herc arrives in Thebes, there's a wall inscribed with the words "The end is near" at the same time that a crazed man comes around shouting the same message. A few steps later, the same wall says "Fin," which is Latin for "end." Very near, indeed.
** After Herc loses his sword while facing the River Guardian, he says that "A hero is only as good as his weapon!" and pulls a fish out of the river. 'Fish' is also a slang term for somebody completely clueless and inexperienced, as in 'fish out of water'.
** At the end of the fight with the Hydra, Herc is seemingly buried in an avalanche. The watching Hades conjures a cigar, leans back in his chair, and smugly says "Game, set, match." As he says the last word, he flicks his thumb as if it's a match, a flame appears atop it, and he uses it to light the cigar.
** Ares' chariot is pulled by large, menacing dogs, and he's the god of war -- in other words, they're [[ShoutOutToShakespeare the dogs of war]].
** The Muses say "And that's the world's first dish!" in "The Gospel Truth", in the sense of telling a juicy story but also in the literal sense that it's being depicted on pottery as they say it.
** Meg is literally struck by Cupid's arrow when she backs up into a statue of it during her scene in the garden with Hercules. She registers a DoubleTake [[LampshadeHanging when she realizes what's happened]].
