Eurystheus made Heracles perform the 12 Labors because Hera did not like Heracles.
Hera, the wife of Zeus, harbored a deep-seated animosity towards Heracles because he was the son of Zeus and Alcmene, a mortal woman. Hera's jealousy and resentment led her to make Heracles' life as difficult as possible. In a fit of madness induced by Hera, Heracles killed his own wife and children. Seeking atonement for these actions, he consulted the Oracle of Delphi, who directed him to serve King Eurystheus. It was Eurystheus, influenced by Hera, who assigned Heracles the series of seemingly impossible tasks known as the 12 Labors.
