There are many elements of PEPLUM movies which automatically makes me love them and at the top of the list are the presence of the ever mystical High Priestess, High Priest, or Oracles. On this permanent page, I'll profile those that appeared in PEPLUM movies.
TRIUMPH OF MACISTE
Yalis - The Oracle
Yalis, played by Carla Calò, is one of my favourites. TRIUMPH OF MACISTE (1961) is also one of my favourites PEPLUM. It has every element a PEPLUM needs to have, including some fun mysticism.
The film starts in Yalis' sacred cave.
Antea (Cathia Caro) seeks Yalis' guidance and help. Yalis gives Antea a special potion to help Maciste out of the evil Queen's control.
Just before the explosive climax, Yalis meets Maciste (Kirk Morris) and tells him how to defeats the Evil Queen.
