Bigotry thrived like an infection in the town where Lyla lived with her centaur husband, Deric, and their son Kefor. Residents like Cletis, Merkus and Jakar were openly opposed to Lyla's marriage to a centaur. Their group, the Cretans, torched Deric's house in the name of "Athenian purity", killing Lyla. Deric, in turn, killed Cletis and Merkus in self-defense. Jakar then kidnapped Kefor and incited the town locals to lynch Deric. Hercules eventually rescued Deric, who was being stoned by the mob. Deric regained his freedom, his son and his wife, whom Zeus brought back to life.
