The powerful son of Zeus was already a recognized hero for his actions in his youth, but destiny still presented him with great challenges. Zeus planned great honors. for her son, even before he was born, the great god had proclaimed that the first grandson of the lineage of the Perseus hero would inherit the throne of my dinners, but the goddess was jealous to see her husband's bastard son have such an honor, she intervened, she made the cousin of Hercules Eurys Theus was born prematurely and that he will steal the hero's inheritance in this way the powerful Hercules submitted to King Eurys Theus who feared the growth of Hercules' power and prestige it was with regret that Hercules obeyed his cousin but when he decided to impose on him In his first works, the indignant hero decided to go to the Oracle of Delphi to see if he should continue obeying a man he considered inferior to him.

The Oracle told him that with every job he did, the power usurped by Eur and Seo would diminish. Hercules still had some hope. After receiving the news from the oracle that he would not need to obey, Auris Theus was upset, taking advantage of the hero's vulnerability. The goddess planted the seed of madness in his head. Hercules began to see the most terrible creatures and fought great battles with them, but everything was hallucinations upon recovering from this wild madness Hercules had blood on his hands and his children and his black wife lay dead at his feet upon realizing what had happened Hercules went into exile and in distant lands he remained in great depression but time healed his wounded and decided to return to my dinners and put himself at the service of King Eurystheus so that he could purify himself from the terrible sins against his family.

Hercules was forced to put himself at the service of his heuristic cousin, King of Mycenae, he feared that with the growth of the prestige of the great hero Hercules would try to take his throne so Eurystheus imposed on him a job that seemed impossible. He was going to exterminate a giant lion that terrorized the tree forests and such beast attacked the herds of the region and after devouring a few men it developed An appreciation for human flesh, it was said that the beast was the daughter of the monstrous typhoon and the evil X, and thus there were rumors that its skin was invulnerable to traditional weapons. trying to hunt the creature hercules spent some time in the forests of neméa in search of the lion until he finally found tracks that led him to the cave where the monstrous feline was hiding hercules entered the monster's lair which was full of animal bones and human skulls from the bottom of the cave you could hear the sound of breath of the great animal Hercules faith to the beast on a rock and shoots one of his arrows at the animal's head this bounces off its fur in fury the giant lion lets out a powerful roar and prepares to attack Hercules and the lion jump against each other the lion exposes his powerful claws while the hero raises his stick Hercules hits the head of the creature who despite the devastating impact withstood the blow unharmed when he realized that his weapons They are useless Hercules and the lion break up a hand-to-hand combat the lion sinks his claws into his opponent who has withstood the stinging pain of his wounds Hercules manages to wrap his arms around the animal's neck and from the beginning to a fatal strangulation the lion of Néméa could not resist the hero's strength and succumbed using the animal's own claws, Hercules managed to tear off the skin and returned to my dinners sad or saw Hercules approaching dressed in the animal's skin, fearing for his life, he hid inside a barrel of metal and thus Hercules completed his first job.

The European king determined to Hercules that as his second job he should finish with a creature that lived in the region of Lerma. This creature was a terrible monster, the son of Typhoon and Team and was known by the name of hydra, the brave hero and his nephew, who was his inseparable companion, went out to meet this creature. On the way, they found a village devastated by the creature and a survivor showed them the way to the beast's lair. The hydra inhabited the sinister swamp of lerna hercules and his nephew cleared the pestilential swamp until they found the monster's cave to remove the creature from the hole hercules used his bow shooting flaming arrows into the cave then he fouled the powerful hydra in the cave that was furious and went to attack the monster had several thirsty heads to devour the hero despite its great size Hercules was extremely agile so he managed to dodge the beast's attacks with a strong blow from his stick the hero crushes one of the heads of the monster but quickly two were born in its place the furious hero continues crushing the heads and twice as many heads re-emerged I yell at Hercules to stop since he was only making the task even more difficult then they had the idea of ​​cauterizing the necks from which they were born the new heads so while hercules crushed the heads his nephew cauterized the wounds with a torch in this way one head after another was being defeated the goddess was an enemy of hercules she saw the hero defeat another creature and sent crabs to help the hydra but They only managed to distract the hero for a short time and ended up crushed Hercules and I defeated her to the last head but even when she was cut off she was still alive the hero threw her into a hole and buried her with a large rock the hydra had extremely toxic blood Knowing this, Hercules bathed his arrows in the poisonous blood of the monster and now possessed another formidable weapon.

The goddess Hera decided to honor the crabs that fought in her name by creating the constellation of Cancer, to the surprise of everyone. Hercules returned victorious to my dinners and appeared to His next job Hercules had already defeated the lion of Nemea and the hydra of Lerna, two very powerful opponents. Eurystheus's plan to end Hercules' life was not working and his rival was becoming increasingly popular without knowing how to defeat his cousin. euris teo has a great idea and attributes two new jobs to the hero hercules would bring two live creatures to my dinners the corsa of ser inea and the boar of eri manto euris teo knew that hercules would not return without the animals because for the hero to admit the failure was unthinkable hercules left and the king was sure that he would never see him again but more than a year passed without the hero being able to find the surly corsican woman it was not an ordinary thing it was simply splendid it had horns of gold and hooves of iron the The creature was one of the five sacred courses created by the goddess Artemis, but she was the only one who lived free.

The others served the goddess by pulling her chariot. Finally, Hercules manages to approach the corsa and shoots an arrow at one of its legs, wounding the corsa. She could no longer run and ended up being captured by the hero. Then the goddess Artemis appears and wonders why the hero is committing such sacrilege. Hercules explains that under the name of the Oracle of Delphi he is in the service of King Eurystheus and that after presenting the race to the king the animal will be freed the goddess then allowed Hercules to continue his journey after presenting the race to Eurystheus the hero set out again in search of the wild boar of eri manto the creature was very strong so hercules had to use cunning to Capturing it, as he could not kill it, tired him out, so the hero chased him and took him to an area where snow accumulated on the ground.

The great boar had to make a great effort to move through the high snow and ended up being overcome by fatigue. Hercules tied him up and dragged him to the royal palace of my dinners Eurazeus, truly terrified, the creature hid again in the bronze barrel and thus Hercules had performed another of his works. King Eurystheus of my dinners was frustrated by not being able to get rid of Hercules and with each work done the hero accumulated more glory therefore the king decided to impose on Hercules a degrading job unworthy of a man son of Zeus the hero had to clean in a single day the great stable of king Augeas the stable had not been cleaned for a long time and accumulated tons of animal manure and he believed that in addition to the difficulty of the task, Hercules would refuse to do such an unworthy job, but the hero humbly bows to his king's wish and goes to the kingdom of Augias because The need to purify himself from his sins was more important than his pride.

Hercules appears before King Augeas and offers his services to clean the stables but without communicating that he was in the service of King Eurystheus. The son of Zeus negotiates with Augias the payment for such. work and reaches an agreement the king believes that cleaning the stable in a single day would be impossible and that is why he promises to give a tenth of his great flock to the hero if Hercules could not finish the job in a single day he would receive nothing the king called His son, to witness the agreement, Hercules is given a shovel but leaves it aside and heads towards the river Alphaeus, using his overwhelming strength, Hercules throws large rocks into the river, diverting its course towards the Augeas stable, the waters of the river crossed. the doors of the stable and took all the dirt with them after cleaning Hercules allowed the river to return to its natural course King Augeas, seeing that the stables were clean and that Hercules had not even dirty his hands, was perplexed when Hercules went to collect his payment.

The king declared that he had never made such a deal, but in the end his own son claimed to have witnessed the agreement. Furious at this betrayal, the king expelled Hercules and his son, but Hercules would not accept such humiliation. He gathered an army of Thebes. to overthrow king augías and put the honorable prince noodle on the throne that belonged to his father and thus one more of his works was fulfilled after cleaning the stables of augías hercules returned to euros but the king questioned the validity of the realization of his legitimate task since he had commissioned an augues reward and therefore must perform an extra task Hercules had to go to Arcadia and get rid of the estimated ones that were gigantic birds of prey that terrorized the region near Lake Stalin after a long journey the hero arrives at the edge of the lake and to his surprise the number of birds was enormous it did not seem possible to achieve such a task through brute force and Hercules was never famous for solving his challenges through cunning hence the help of his sister to have the goddess of wisdom was providential the goddess gifted an iron musical instrument made by the god effect in her sacred forge to have also read about how to defeat the birds hercules climbed a hill near the lake and from there used the instrument with a incredible force the noise was so loud that the birds fled terrified and as they climbed hercules shot them with his arrows filled with hydra blood a job had been done and now the hero has set sail for the island of crete eurystheus had ordered hercules to go to the island of king minos to capture the fearsome bull of crete this was no ordinary bull the animal should havebeen sacrificed in honor of the god poseidon but due to its qualities wines decided not to sacrifice it as a result poseidon caused the bull to be captured by an uncontrollable fury hercules comes face to face with the bull that was the father of the terrible minotaur the bull was incredibly strong but not enough to hit the son of Zeus Hercules grabbed him by the horns and threw him to the ground and after tying him he put him on a ship that would take us back to the Peloponnese upon arriving at my dinners the bull is presented to Eurystheus who then To confirm the completion of the task, he freed the animal.

The bull wandered around Greece causing terror wherever he went, but it was on the marathon plains where the beast met his end when he met another hero. His name was Desire. Hercules had just received his eighth labor. and now he had to travel back and return with the famous man-eating mares of Diomedes. He was the son of Ares, the god of war, and he reigned over the bison, who were a barbaric and cruel people, and certainly Diomedes was the cruelest of all. He captured the foreigners. who crossed their lands and led them to the royal granary.

There they found powerful mares so strong that they were tied with iron chains. The mares no longer ate oats or any other cereal because they had acquired a taste for human flesh. Diomedes then threw the visitors away to that they served as food for his terrible horses for the journey back and Hercules had the company of some friends such as his nephew I side and cunning who was the son of Hermès Hercules who arrives in the kingdom of Diomedes learns of the atrocities that the king committed against The visitors to his kingdom Diomedes insulted the duty of hospitality that was a requirement of Zeus.

When he learned of the arrival of new visitors, the king and his guards came out to meet him. Hercules defeated the royal guard and after grabbing the king, he threw him to be devoured by his own mares when they were fed the mares were calmer and so Hercules led them to his ship but more soldiers appeared trying to avenge their king Hercules asked the son of Hermes to hold the mares while the hero fought against the soldiers The guards were easily defeated but when Hercules returned he found himself burning or dead being devoured by the flames Hercules mourned the death of his friend and after burying him he declared that the city of Abdera would be founded there in honor of his friend at my dinners King Eurys Teo consecrated the mares in honor of the goddess Hera.

The horses descended from these mares were extraordinary animals, according to legend. Almost everyone known to Hercules had gathered some heroes to accompany him to the kingdom of the Amazons to carry out one more of his works. The spoiled daughter of King Eurystheus demanded that her father give her Hippolyta's belt. Hippolyta was the queen. of the Amazons and due to his achievements on the battlefield he received the belt of the god of air in person as an honor to fulfill his daughter's wish the king sent Hercules to use the means he considered necessary to bring the belt to his Daughter of My Wrath was a kingdom made up only of women and they were famous for being excellent fighters.

Upon reaching the kingdom of the Amazons, Hercules was received by the same Queen Hippolyta, who is amazed by the powerful chariot of the son of Zeus. Hercules was diplomatic when he spoke. with the queen and she returned the courtesy, it seemed that they were reaching an agreement and Hippolyta would give her belt to the hero without shedding blood, but the goddess was the enemy of Hercules, she did not allow the bastard son of Zeus to carry out this task so easily. Disguised, she mingled among the Amazons and spread the rumor that Hercules planned to kidnap the queen to protect Hippolytus.

The Amazons armed themselves and attacked Hercules and his companions. The battle was bloody. Many Amazons fell on the battlefield. Among the fallen Amazons was Queen Bolita Hercules picked up her belt and began her return to my dinners. On the way back, the hero crossed the path and the city was in serious trouble. The Trojan king Lycomedes was punished because he refused to pay the tribute along with Poseidon that he had built. the legendary Trojan walls for the king therefore his daughter was being given as a sacrifice to a terrible sea monster the king promised the hero a reward if he saved his daughter so Hercules went to fight the creature this was no match for the powerful son of Zeus and was exterminated but Lycomedes reinforced his reputation for payment and did not pay the prize due to the hero Hercules was expelled from Troy but before leaving he swore revenge and returned to Greece to give the belt of Queen Hippolyta to the daughter of His sovereign the European king wanted to see Hercules as far away as possible and as his tenth labor the hero had to steal the cattle of the giant Geryon the giant lived on the mythical island of Eritrea near the Iberian peninsula' the journey was very long and no Greek had traveled so far hercules sailed for a long time until he reached a great mountain that separated the mediterranean sea from the atlantic ocean but not even a huge mountain could stop the son of zeus hercules used all his strength to split the mountain in two and pushed both halves so the hero connected the Mediterranean with the Atlantic and was able to continue his journey the two great hills created by the hero would be known as the Pillars of Hercules and today this place is known as the Strait of Gibraltar Hercules finally reaches the island of Eritrea no Greek had dared to approach the oxen giant oxen or since Geryon was a horrible creature that had several bodies in one the giant also had a two-headed guard dog called others who was the brother of Cerverus Hercules fought against The dog, killing him with his powerful club, stealthily Hercules began to drive the cattle but was noticed by Genie who went to attack.

The fight between Hercules and Genies was intense and it seemed that this time Hercules would finally be defeated but the hero realizes that The goddess was his great enemy. She was hiding helping the giant. Hercules shoots an arrow at the wounded goddess who flees to Olympus. The demigod takes out one of his arrows soaked with the poisonous blood of the hydra and shoots it at Geryon. The giant was defeated and now Hercules. He can finally return to Greece leading Geryon's famous oxen Hercules was once again traveling the world to do one more job for King Eurys but this time he was going to find the famous Hesperides Garden and return with one of his famous golden apples when the goddess Hera married royal Zeus as a gift of a beautiful tree from which golden apples sprout.

This tree was cared for by the beautiful and delicate Hesperides, watched by the Dong, which was an immense dragon. In his search for the garden, Hercules encountered the Titan Prometheus who was chained. to a rock and whose liver was devoured by a large machine during the night his liver regenerated and the next day the bird returned to feed again Prometheus had been punished by Zeus for stealing the sacred fire and giving it to men Hercules decides that Prometheus He had already suffered too much and decides that something must be done, he kills the hateful bird with his bow and breaks the chains that tied the titan to the rock and thus he promises or finally freed himself from his plea as a form of gratitude he promises or advises Hercules not to.

Continuing his journey, the hero faces the powerful titan Atlas, who was also suffering a punishment imposed by Zeus. Atlas had fought against Zeus during the titan or mac, since it was the great fight between the gods and the titans. The defeated Atlas was forced to bear the entire weight of the celestial vault on his back for all eternity. The Titan was the father of the Hesperides and offered to bring Hercules the apples he needed while holding up the celestial vault while the Titan When he visited his daughters' garden, Hercules agreed and used all his strength to lift the heavy vault of heaven on his shoulders.

Atlas left and after some time he finally returned. He brought with him the apples that Hercules needed. When he saw the hero, he took them to him. Atlas said here are the apples but don't worry I will give them to King Eurystheus myself Hercules realizes that he was deceived and will have to bear the weight of the world on his back for all eternity and at that moment he really uses his cunning would it be your way how kind I can't stand having to face my cousin anymore but before you go I would like to make a request could you hold the vault for a moment so I can order a lion skin cloak to protect my back you know how uncomfortable What is all this weight?

Atlas knew very well how uncomfortable this job was and decided to help the hero shortly after the titan raised the heavenly vault. Hercules picked up the apples that had been left on the ground and turned his back to never return to the place. return to my dinners with apples the great hero was acclaimed by the heuristic and jealous subjects decides that there is only one way to get rid of hercules he must definitely be sent to the king after performing 11 works that everyone thought impossible hercules was loved by the people Since the hero had rid the world of the most sinister creatures, Eurazeus's plan to destroy the son of Zeus only made him achieve greater and greater glory.

The king of Mycenae only had the right to impose one more job on Hercules, so This was his last chance to get rid of the hero Eurystheus ordered Hercules to enter the world of the dead and return with the legendary brewer the three-headed dog of hades who was responsible for guarding his master's kingdom before leaving for the kingdom. of hades the hero was initiated into the mysteries of him the rituals of these cults symbolize death and resurrection hercules went to a secret cave that gave access to the underworld right at the entrance he was received by his brother hermes who was the god who guided to the souls towards the kingdom of hades guided by the messenger god Hercules entered the underworld it was a sinister and sad place in the kingdom of hades the demigod finds his friend desire still alive chained to a stone desire had been punished by hades for try together with his friend spirit to kidnap persephone the queen of the underworld hercules freed his friend from captivity and was able to return to the world of the living the son of zeus is now face to face with hades the lord of the world of the dead and asked his permission to bring his dog and present him to Eurystheus with the promise that he would return the dog after finishing his work.

He allowed Hercules to try to capture the three-headed dog but with the condition that he would only use his own hands to subdue the dog. Animal The hero set out against the monster. When Hercules saw it, he realized that the beast, in addition to three heads, still had snake venom. The son of Zeus had already fought against all kinds of creatures and without fear he went on to fight the fight between the demigod and The monster was intense but Hercules finally managed to defeat the creature. The hero took Cervero to the surface. The dog, when in contact with sunlight, became nauseous and ended up vomiting from the place where the animal's vomit fell.

Poisonous plants were born despite Hercules resistance dragged the animal to the palace of King Eurystheus and presented the creature to his master. Seeing such a monster, the terrified Eurystheus ran to his bronze barrel and hid there. Cervero was freed and returned to the underworld. Hercules had finally His twelfth labor was done and Aristaeus resigned himself to not being able to put an end to Hercules and finally freed the demigod from his services Hercules had reached the peak of his glory and was seen as the benefactor of humanity but this is not the end of his son of zeus would still face difficult adventures and trials before finally achieving immortality with his father
