Write a summary of one of the Greek myths or one of the art forms in ancient Greece
To start off with none of these stories are actually true, they are just myths. Hercules was disliked by many people but one of these people was Zeus’s wife Hera. She hated him because he was only half god. But he would still be allowed to join the Olympiad if he completed these twelve tasks now as the Herculean labors. The tasks were slay the Nemean Lion, slay the nine headed Hydra, capture the Golden Hind of Artemis, capture the Erymanthian Boar, clean the Augean Stables in a single day, slay the Stymphalian Birds, capture the Cretan Bull, steal the Mares of Diomedes, obtain the Girdle of Hippolyta Queen of the Amazons, obtain the Cattle of the Monster Geryon, steal the Apples of the Hesperides, and capture and bring back Cerberus. Now as this may seem like it would not be too difficult for a man with as much strength as Hercules, but it was not so easy. The reason that he had to complete all of these labors is because the Spirit of Delphi told him to go work for Eurystheus for ten years. After he completed the twelve Labors he would be able to join the Olympiad.
