Dionysus asked Melinoë to invite Hercules to the feast because he felt Hercules, who was always focused on his missions, needed a break. Dionysus believed Melinoë's feminine charm and innocent demeanor would be persuasive enough to convince Hercules, and he wanted to invite him to a special feast where they could enjoy wine and hot springs.

When Melinoë met Hercules at the feast location, he was initially wary. However, he started a conversation when Melinoë mentioned feeling cold and tired, and he wondered how she knew about this place. Hercules asked if Melinoë wasn't the type to enjoy wine and feasts, but she replied that she had permission to be there and enjoyed bathing with the Satyrs, explaining it was to experience something new outside her routine.
