Question
The Labours of Hercules
The next test that Eurystheus set for Hercules was the capture of the golden horned and brazen hoof stag of Cerynea, which ran so swiftly that it did not seem to touch the ground. Hercules pursue the stag for many miles, but was unable to overtake it until he drove it into the cold regions of the north, where it’s fleetness was hindered by the great drifts, and the ice covered ground. Finally, the stag ran into a deep snowbank, so Hercules kept it and took it home and triumph.
The fourth labor to which Hercules lent his great strength with the killing of a wild boar that haunted Mount Erymanthus in Arcadia. While on this expedition, the hero was attacked by the centaurs , and when he shot at them with his poison arrows, one of the deadly missiles flew far instruct his loved tutor, Chiron, who is galloping toward the combatants, hoping to settle the quarrel peaceably. When Hercules saw Chiron fall, he rushed to his side and tried to stanch the fatal wound; but the dying centaur knew that his son had come, and sorrowfully bade the hero farewell. To reward Chiron for his long service, the gods transferred him to the heavens as the constellation Sagittarius.
Hercules was next sent to kill the flock of fierce birds his cruel beaks and sharp talents made havoc in the country around Lake Stymphalus. The foul missed that rose from the stagnant water over which the birds hover was so deadly to breathe that Hercules could hardly approach the lake; but with the help of his poisoned errors, he was able to wound the birds at a distance. After hours spent in the pestilent atmosphere, he killed the entire flock and returned to the court of Eurystheus to report his success.
