"Hercules and the Bacchanal" is an episode of Hercules: The Animated Series.
Plot[]
Phil wants to go to the Brotherhood of Satyrs, Minotaurs and Other Half-Human Convention, so Hercules and Hermes volunteer to watch the island over the weekend. However, after Hermes shuts down Adonis' party via Bacchus, the god of parties, Hercules and Bacchus convince him to allow a Bacchanal on the island. The party goes well until Poseidon is woken by it, who sinks the island and won't raise it again unless he gets eye cream from Argus to get rid of his baggy eyes.
Argus however wants a love arrow from Cupid, who wants some water from the Pool of Forgetfulness to get one of Aphrodite's songs out of his head, where Hercules and Hermes are caught by Hades' minions Pain and Panic, who want fireproof pants. Hermes intends to call in a favor from Hephaestus, but he is a guest speaker at the same convention Phil is attending. While there, Hercules runs into Phil and ultimately decides to come clean to him.
Phil and Hercules arrive at the island on Pegasus just after Hermes has gotten everything as it was before Phil left. Herc comes clean anyway to Phil about what happened -- this upsets Hermes, but Phil appreciates Herc being honest (although he still punishes him by making him run laps around the island). When Phil notices that the inside of his house is still flooded, he punishes both Hercules and Hermes by increasing the amount of laps around the island from 20 to 20,000.
