Hestian (or Hestial) Virgins, the virgin Priestess' of the Goddess Hestia are responsible for guarding the "toys" of the Gods, such as the Sword of Veracity and the Shield of Forgetfulness.
(Searching caves for the Sword of Veracity)
Hercules: Any luck?
Iolaus: No, just some broken wine jugs and love letters all over the walls. I mean, what is it about kids these days?
Trachis: (as he tortures Amphion) I can help you if you'll let me. All you have to do is to go out there and admit you were wrong. Tell them to pay their tribute and respect my authority. If you do that, I'm sure the real killer will turn up somewhere and you'll go free. And if you don't, your naive ideas about peace will die with you.
Iolaus: Well, how are we going to find the right cave? I mean, do we just say, 'Hey, here we are,' and expect it to pop up in front of us? Hercules: We could try that. Iolaus: No, better yet, we spin a stick and go in whatever direction it points. Hercules That sounds even better. Iolaus: Herc, you do have a plan, don't you?!
Hercules: (when asked for advice on dealing with a Virgin Priestess) All right, if nothing else works here's what you do. First you find a lake or river, but it can't be just any lake or river. Iolaus: No? Hercules: No, it's got to be cold. Colder the better, in fact, it should be freezing. Iolaus: Okay, then what? Hercules: Jump in. Iolaus: What, and that works? Hercules: Every time. Iolaus: How do you know? Hercules: I've employed the method once or twice in my life.
Iolaus: Uh, I don't mean to pry, but how does a woman like you get to be a Virgin, anyway?
Lead Guard: (under the influence of the Sword of Veracity) Don't hurt me! I'm a coward, honest, I just work for Trachis cause he pays well... girls like the uniform. I'll do anything! Please, please let me go. Leah: Get out of here. (points the sword at another guard) And what about you? Guard: My father beat me when I was a kid. Being a bully is all I know. Hercules: Well, it's never too late to change. Guard: I always liked working with my hands. I could make pottery! Bruce and I can open that interior decorating business we've always dreamed about!
Leah: Iolaus, I'm sorry. I didn't set out to mislead you. Iolaus: Look on the bright side, Leah. Least I won't burn in Tartarus for having fantasies about a Virgin Priestess.
