Hercules and the Tapestry of Fate is the eleventh episode of Hercules, written by Madellaine Paxson and directed by Phil Weinstein.
Plot[]
Hercules and Icarus want to go to an Orpheus concert, but they find it sold out, and so seek out the aid of the Fates - Atropos (Paddi Edwards), Clotho (Tress MacNeille), and Lachesis (Carole Shelley) - when Zeus cannot help. Hercules distracts them while Icarus reweaves fate to allow them to go to the concert. This gives Hades the idea to reweave his own fate, making him king of the gods, Phil a janitor, Icarus the inventor of capable wings, Hercules himself a god and Hades' son, and Zeus guardian of the Tapestry and ruler of the Underworld. Hercules uses his strength as a god to destroy the Tapestry and reweave it back to normal; the Fates give them tickets as a reward, only for them to find the concert has been canceled due to Orpheus getting a sore throat, a reminder for them that it isn't nice to mess with fate.
