During the singing of The Gospel Truths I, II, and III it is handing us the plot on a golden platter. The Gospel Truth I is the prime example. Those lyrics are vaguely foreshadowing the conflict of the story. It touches on how the titans were free and causing harm to the world, but the mighty Zeus saved the day and put them away. This song gets an audience strapped in a ready for what they are about to see. It offers excitement with the catchy lyrics, for example, "Though, honey, it may seem impossible. That's the Gospel truth." They are singing a little backstory before we dive into the story of the hero, Hercules; I mean Hunkules. Then we are presented The Gospel Truth II. This is again, foreshadowing, but also introducing Hades. Hades is a large character in the plot and is the sole ruler of the conflict. There is more information given to the plot but sang by the Muses to show it is important. It can make the audience pay more attention to the story. The Gospel Truth III is all about Hercules. He is now mortal, but not all the way. It gives into the plot line by showing that Hercules is going to grow up as human, even though he is far from it. The lyrics give a sense of dramatic irony, because as the audience we know more than Hercules does. We know he is a god and that there is much more out there for him. These all give detail and highlight to the plot of "Hercules."
