Now I'm back in the palace. She regretted that she didn't get back at her child and didn't get rid of him. Then she sent two terrible poisonous snakes, climbed into the palace and killed the child, trying to strangle him in the cradle. It was discovered that Hercules was a god since he was a child, and he surrendered two poisonous snakes. Hera had to give up. When he grew up, Count casto and Kay Long Xing Centaurs taught him all kinds of martial arts and knowledge. He accidentally killed the music teacher (Apollo's son, white-haired Rinos taught him to read and write. Hercules showed his talent and ability to learn. But he can't stand the torture. Old Rinos is an impatient teacher. On one occasion, he hit Hercules for no reason. Hercules grabbed his harp and threw it at the teacher's head. The teacher immediately fell to the ground and died. Hercules regretted it very much, but he was taken to court. Radamantis, an upright and knowledgeable judge, acquitted him. The judge issued a new law that those who kill in self-defense are innocent. However, Amphitryon was worried that his powerful son would commit similar crimes in the future, so he sent him to the countryside to herd cattle. ) was sent to the countryside by Amphitryon to graze. He once killed a lion in Kitarong and put the lion's skin on his body (he said he was wearing the skin of a Nimian lion). Before going to life, he refused the temptation of the evil goddess of virtue and decided to follow her advice. He is determined to choose the path of virtue. Soon, he found an opportunity to do good. As we all know, Greece at that time was densely covered with jungles and swamps, and there were fierce lions, wild boars and other evil animals everywhere. Therefore, removing these evil obstacles and liberating Greece from this harmful beast is one of the great goals of ancient heroes. Hercules was destined to face this arduous task. When he heard that a terrible lion was doing evil in King Amphitryon's pasture at the foot of Mount Kitalen, the young hero heard the voice of "virtue". He immediately made a decision and was armed to the teeth. He climbed up the barren mountain, killed the lion, peeled off the lion's skin, carried it on his shoulder, and then cut off the lion's head to make a helmet. When I came back from hunting, I met an envoy sent by King Elji North of the Ming Dynasty. They collect tribute from Thebes every year, which is an unreasonable and humiliating burden. Hercules regarded himself as the savior of all the oppressed people, quickly defeated these vicious envoys, and then tied them up and sent them back to their king. Elgi North arrogantly demanded that the king of Thebes hand over the murderer. Creon, king of Thebes, was afraid of each other's strength and was ready to meet each other's demands. Hercules mobilized a group of brave young people to fight against the enemy with him. However, people had no weapons, because Ye Ming collected all the weapons to prevent the Thebes from rebelling. Athena saw this situation, so she called Hercules to the temple and armed him with her armor. This temple also
There are many weapons in the statue of Hercules (18), which were captured by their ancestors in the war and offered as trophies to the gods. The young man who came with Hercules picked up his weapon and went out with Hercules. They only have a small team, while the Ming people are huge legions with strong forces. The two armies met in a narrow place. In this small place, although Ye Ming has many soldiers, they can't show them at all. Elgi's army was completely defeated and he died in the battle. However, Amphitryon, the stepfather of Hercules, was also killed by an arrow in the war. After the war, Hercules quickly advanced into Menos, olko, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. He rushed into the city, burned the palace and destroyed the city. To thank him, King Creon of Thebes married his daughter Megara. The gods also gave the demigod hero many gifts: Hermes gave him a sword, Apollo gave him a bow, hephaestus gave him a golden quiver, and Athena gave him a brand-new bronze shield. His mother, alcmene, remarried to Judge Radaman Tis.
Against giants
Hercules was grateful for the precious gift from God. Soon, he found a chance to repay. It turns out that Gaia, the goddess of the earth, gave birth to a group of giants for Uranus, the god of heaven. These monsters are hideous, with long beards and long hair, and a scaly dragon tail is dragged behind them, which has become their feet. Mother instigated them to oppose Zeus, because Zeus became the new master of the world, throwing all the sons born to Kaia before, that is, the Titan, into Talas in hell. A few years later, they broke through hell and appeared in the fields of Thessaly. At the sight of them, the stars changed color, and even Apollo changed the direction of the solar car. Step by step, the giant climbed up the mountain and went to the residence of the gods, holding burning oak sticks and huge stones in his hand, pounding Olympus like a storm. The gods got an Oracle that they could not kill the invading giants if no mortal took part in the battle. Hearing the news, Gaia hurried to find a way to ensure that his sons would not be hurt by mortals. This requires an herb. However, Zeus took the lead. He doesn't let the sunrise, the moon and the sun shine. When Gaia searched for herbs everywhere in the dark, Zeus harvested them. He asked Athena to give herbs to his son Hercules, and invited him to come to the war ... After the battle, the gods praised Hercules' brilliant record. Zeus called the gods who participated in the war Olympians, which is the title of brave. Dionysus and Hercules, two sons born to Zeus by a mortal woman, also won this glorious title.
Eurystheus
Before Hercules and Eurystheus were born in Hercules, Zeus announced at the meeting of the gods that Poerxiusi's first grandson would rule all other descendants of Poerxiusi. He wanted to give this honor to him and alcmene's son. But Hera was jealous of the light.
The portrait of Hercules (13) belongs to the son of her rival in love, so she played a trick to let Poerxiusi's other grandson Eurystheus be born early. It turned out that he was born later than Hercules. So Eurystheus became the king of McKinney, and Hercules, who was born later, became his subject. The king noticed that his younger brother was famous, so he called him as a subject and assigned him many difficult tasks. Hercules refused to obey. But Zeus didn't want to break his own rules, so he ordered his son to carry out the king's orders. Unwilling to be a slave to mortals, the demigod hero left home and went to Delphi to seek the Oracle. The Oracle made it very clear that Eurystheus cheated the throne because of Hera's trick, and the gods would correct it, but Heracles had to complete the twelve tasks assigned by the king. When these tasks are completed, he can be upgraded to a god. When Hercules heard the Oracle, he was depressed and deeply sad. Serving a person who is inferior to him does harm to his dignity and degrade his status. But he dared not disobey his father Zeus. Hera is still jealous of Hercules, although he helped the gods in the battle with giants. She took the opportunity to turn Hercules' depression into rage. Hercules couldn't control himself. He even tried to kill his precious nephew Olaus. The nephew was taken aback and ran away. Hercules, in a rage, shot the child born to him and Megara with an arrow, and fantasized that he shot the giant with an arrow. It took him a long time to get rid of his madness. He saw that he had made a big disaster and fell into deeper sorrow and misfortune. He stayed at home and didn't see anyone. As time went on, the pain in his heart eased. He pulled himself together and made up his mind to finish the task given to him by Eurystheus. (12 task will be mentioned later) After all kinds of hardships and efforts, Hercules overcame numerous difficulties and obstacles, completed the task given by King Eurystheus, and finally got rid of slavery and returned to Thebes.
12 great achievements
(1) a fierce lion strangled by steel in the forest of Nemea; The king's first task for Heracles was that Heracles had to skin the lion in Nemea for him. This beast lives in Argolis.
In the great forest between the Peloponnesus, Nemea and Krevor. The lion is so fierce that human weapons can't hurt it at all. Some people say that the lion is the son of Di Feng, a giant, and the mole, a female monster who is half man and half snake. Others say it fell from the moon to the ground. Hercules began to hunt lions. Finally killed it. It cut the skin with its claws and finally skinned the lion. Later, he sewed an armor with this strange lion skin and made a new helmet. Now, he packed his lion skins and weapons, put the lion skins of Nemea on his shoulders and set off for Tallinn. (2) Surrender the monster Xu Dela (two kinds); 1, Success Xu Dela is a serpent with nine heads. It haunts the grass and harms all directions. What's more frightening is that the biggest one on its head can't be killed. If it is cut off, two new heads will be born. Hercules didn't believe in evil. He came to see you. Xu Dela is much cleverer than a lion. He held his head high, waiting for Hercules to attack. Hercules stepped forward and cut off the biggest snakehead. To his great surprise, two new heads immediately appeared on the snake's neck, and ten heads were wobbly and creepy. While Hercules was thinking hard about countermeasures, a big crab and Xu Dela were in cahoots and crept up quietly, biting Hercules' foot tightly with two big claws. Hercules turned around and smashed the cancer with a sudden blow from a big tree. When he killed cancer, he called on his colleague Olaus to help him. Olaus insisted on the torch, set a fire in the nearby Woods, and then burned the newly-grown snake head with burning branches to prevent it from growing up. At this time, Hercules took the opportunity to cut off Xu Dela's immortal head, buried it by the road, and put a heavy stone on it. Then, he divided the snake in two and soaked the arrow in the poisonous snake blood. Since then, the enemy who was shot by his arrow has no cure. 2. The unsuccessful Hercules is the son of Zeus and mortal life. Hera tried to kill him again and again: he is also the greatest hero in Greece and the strongest man in the world. There is nothing he can't do. Even the gods conquered the giant with his help. Of course, Hercules also made many contributions to the gods. One day, he came to the Kingdom of Messini and was about to receive a hero's welcome. However, Hera instructed the king to give him a difficult problem, killing hydra who lived in the swamp. This is very difficult, because every time a head is cut off, countless heads will be born immediately. -Hercules came up with a way to burn snakehead, so he easily solved eight snakehead. Seeing only one left, Hera flew into a rage in the sky. "Did you fail again this time?" She is unwilling! So a huge crab was called from the sea to stop Hercules, and the crab stretched out a pair of powerful crabs to hold Hercules' feet, but everyone knew that Hercules was the strongest person in the world! Although the crab never let go of its claws, the crab finally died under his brute force. Hera failed again, but she felt sorry for the desperate sacrifice of cancer. In order to appreciate the loyalty of cancer, even if it didn't succeed, Hera put it in the sky and became a cancer. (3) Capture the red stag alive with Jinjiao's bronze hoof (Heracles' manslaughter) in Mount Cleonia; His third task is to capture the roe deer on Mount Kerr Geniya alive. This is a beautiful animal, Jinjiao's copper hoof, living freely on the hillside of Agadia. This is one of the five roe deer captured by the goddess Artemis themis in the first hunting, but she was put back into the forest, because the goddess of fate stipulated that Hercules would chase her exhausted one day. Hercules chased her for a whole year until she reached the place where the pure people in the Arctic lived, the birthplace of the Esther River. It is said that the sun here only comes out once a year. Hercules finally caught up with the roe on the Laton River near Mount Taimis and near the city of Anger. In order to force her to stop, he had to shoot an arrow and hit her in the leg. Then grab the injured deer and walk back on his shoulder. On the way, he met the goddess themis and her brother Apollo. She asked him why he hurt her deer and even tried to take her prey. "Great Goddess, I'm not kidding," Hercules argued. "I was forced, too. Otherwise, how can I complete the task given to me by Eurystheus?" This finally calmed the goddess' anger. Hercules returned to McKinney with a live roe. (4) capture the wild boar alive in the dense forest of Mount Hermantos; Capture the wild boar of Ultimantos alive, bring it back to McKinney intact and give it to the king of Eurystheus. This wild boar is a sacred object to the goddess themis, but it has destroyed the crops around Elrau Mantos, which is very harmful. Hercules, on his way to Urlaw Mantos, came to the home of Foros, the son of Cirinos. Foros is a centaur from Ken Taulos. He warmly served a pot of barbecue to the guests and ate it raw. Hercules hopes to match delicious food with wine. Foros smiled and said, "Dear guest, there is a barrel of wine in my basement, which belongs to all of us in Taulos. I dare not open it because I know that we semi-Macon Taulos people are not generous. " "Open it," said Heracles. "I promise to protect you from their attacks. I am really thirsty now! " It turned out that this barrel of wine was given by Bacchus himself to a centaur, that is, a Taulos man, and told him not to open it in advance after the fourth centaur and before Hercules arrived. So Foros went to the basement. As soon as he opened the barrel, the horses smelled the fragrant wine, swarmed in and surrounded Foros's basement with stones or sticks in their hands. Hercules beat back the first batch of KenTaulos people with fire sticks, and pursued the rest with archery until he reached the Mahle River in the southeast corner of the Peloponnesian Peninsula, where Heracles's old friend Kay Long Xing lived. Ken Taulos has defected to Kai Long Xing. Hercules shot an arrow at them. The arrow grazed a Ken Taulos's arm and hit Kay Long Xing's knee. Only then did he realize that he had shot and killed his childhood friend. He pulled an arrow from his friend's knee and applied it to the wound with the ointment prepared by Kay Long Xing, who is proficient in medicine. But because the arrow was soaked in Xu Dela's poisonous blood, the wound could not be cured. Kay Long Xing asked his brothers to carry him back to the cave, hoping to die in his friend's arms. Unfortunately, this wish is also futile, because he forgets that he is immortal and his pain will be endured forever. Heracles said goodbye to Kay Long Xing with tears in his eyes, and promised that no matter how much he paid, he would ask death to satisfy his old friend's wish and let him get rid of his pain. We know that he has fulfilled his promise. Hercules returned to Foros, and he saw that his friend was dead. It turned out that he pulled out an arrow from a dead man in Ken Taulos, and he couldn't help marveling that this short arrow was so powerful that it could kill a life. He threw the arrow on the ground, but it cut his own foot and he was killed at once. Hercules was very sad. He buried his friend at the foot of a mountain, which was later called Luo Fu Mountain. Hercules continued to look for wild boar. He roared loudly, drove the boar out of the jungle, pursued it, drove it to the snow, and finally caught the exhausted boar with a slipknot. He followed the orders of King Eurystheus, captured the wild boar alive in Mount Tus, ullman, and sent it to McKinney alive. (5) In Augeas, a mountain of feces was used to divert water to clean the cowshed; There seems to be a hero who disdains to send him to do it, that is, to clean the cowshed in Augeas in one day. Augeas, the king of Elis, has a large number of cows. His cows are all kept in the cowshed in front of the palace according to ancient customs, and there are more than 3 thousand cows in it. This place has been full of cow dung for many years. Hercules doesn't know how to get rid of cow dung in a short day. Hercules came to King Augeas and offered to clean the cowshed for him, but he didn't say that this was the task given to him by Eurystheus. Augeas looked at the burly man in a lion's skin and couldn't help laughing at the thought that such a noble soldier was willing to work as a servant. But he thought, selfish desires are tempting. Maybe this warrior is greedy for profits, so he deserves my reward. If he can really clean the cowshed in one day, I can give him a big reward, but how can he clean so much cow dung in one day? It is impossible for anyone to do it. The king thought of this and said confidently, "Listen, stranger, if you can really clean the cowshed in front of the palace in one day, I will give you one tenth of the cows." Hercules accepted this condition. The king thought he would start cleaning soon, but Hercules called Augeas's son Philo Yus and asked him to be a witness. Then he dug a ditch on one side of the cowshed, introduced water from Alphonse River and Shrimp River, flowed through the cowshed and washed away a lot of cow dung inside. As a result, he finished the task without getting his hands dirty. Augeas then heard that Hercules was ordered by Eurystheus to do it, so he wanted to breach the contract, denying that he had made a promise and didn't give Hercules any reward. He also said that if Hercules refused to accept it, they could take it to court. When the judge heard the case, Augeas's son Philoyus testified in court, claiming that it was true, and his father promised to reward Hercules. Augeas was so angry that he ordered his son and strangers to leave his kingdom immediately, waiting for the verdict. Hercules completed the task and happily returned to the Kingdom of Eurystheus, but the king announced that the task could not be counted, because Hercules demanded remuneration. He sent Hercules to complete the sixth task (6) to drive away the strange birds on Lake Stefano; This is a huge raptor, with iron wings, iron mouth and iron claws. It is very powerful. They live in Lake Sting fallows in arcadia. The feathers they shake off are like flying arrows, and iron mouths can even peck through bronze shields, hurting countless people and animals there. Hercules set off for Lake Sting fallows and soon came to the lake surrounded by dense forests. A group of strange birds flew around in the forest in horror, as if afraid of being eaten by wolves. Hercules watched the birds fly in the air, but he couldn't subdue them. Suddenly, he felt someone patted him on the shoulder. Looking back, it was Athena. She gave him two big brass cymbals, which hephaestus made for her. She taught Hercules how to drive away strange birds with brass cymbals. With that, she suddenly disappeared. So Hercules climbed up a hill by the lake and knocked on the brass cymbals to intimidate these strange birds. They couldn't stand the harsh sound and flew out of the Woods in a hurry. Hercules took this opportunity to bend his bow and take an arrow and shoot several arrows in succession. Several strange birds fell to the ground, and the rest flew away in a hurry. They flew across the ocean to Area and never came back. (7) Crazy cattle in Crete; Minos, the king of Crete, promised Poseidon that he would sacrifice the first animal that appeared in the sea to him, because Minos thought that there was no animal in his territory worth dedicating to this great god. Poseidon was very moved and deliberately let a strong bull emerge from the waves. Minos saw the bull and liked it very much. He was reluctant to give it to Poseidon, so he quietly hid in his own herd and sacrificed with another bull. Poseidon was very angry. He drove the bulls at sea crazy and wreaked havoc in Crete. The seventh task Heracles got was to tame the bull on Crete and bring it back to the king of Eurystheus. Hercules came to Crete and met the king Minos. Minos was very happy. He has broken his brain for this bull, and he hopes someone will get rid of this scourge for him. The king even personally helped Hercules catch this crazy bull. Hercules has extraordinary power. He subdued the furious bull and rode on its back, just like sailing in a boat, and returned to the Peloponnesus from here. King Eurystheus was very satisfied with his work, but when he saw the bull, he let it go. Once the bull was out of Hercules' control, it went crazy again. It traveled all over Lagonia and laguardia, then crossed the isthmus, reached the marathon in Tyche, and did evil everywhere, just as it did in Crete. It was not until much later that he was conquered by the Greek hero theseus. (8) Drive the cannibals of Diomedes from Thrace to Mycenae; Diomedes was the son of Ares, the god of war, and the king of the belligerent piston. He keeps a group of fierce and wild mares, which must be chained in iron mangers. The mare's feed is not the oats of ordinary horses, but the unfortunate stranger who strays into the castle by mistake. When Hercules came here, the first thing he did was to subdue the guards in charge of the stables, and then throw the ruthless king into the manger. These horses became tame as soon as they ate the king. They honestly obeyed Hercules' orders and were driven to the seaside. Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him. It turns out that the piston is chasing with all weapons. Hercules quickly prepared for battle. He left the horse in the care of his companion Appel Ross. Appel Ross is the messenger of the gods and the son of Hermes. After Hercules left, the mares became crazy again. When Hercules came back from beating off the piston, he found that his companion had been eaten by the horse, leaving only bones. Hercules was very sad. He built a city of Patra nearby in memory of his friends. Finally, he subdued the mares and gave them to Eurystheus. Eurystheus presented these horses to Hera, the queen of heaven. Later, these mares gave birth to foals and bred for a long time. It is said that the horse that King Alexander of Macedonia rode is their descendant. (9) Defeat Hippolyta, the female leader of Amazon, and seize her belt; Eurystheus has a daughter named Artemita. Eurystheus ordered Hercules to seize the belt of hippolyte, the queen of Amazon, and present it to Artemita. Amazonians live on both sides of the East River in Telmo, which is a country of women. They buy and sell men to have children, keep the girls they gave birth to and raise them. This nation has been belligerent since ancient times. Their queen, Hippolyta, wore a belt given to her by the God of War himself. This is a symbol of the queen's power. Hercules gathered a group of people who volunteered to take part in the war and took risks by boat. After many twists and turns, they entered the Black Sea, and finally came to the mouth of the East River in Telmo, and then sailed downstream into the port of Temisila in the Amazon River. They met the Amazon Queen here. She saw Horace handsome and burly, and she liked and respected him very much. When she heard about the hero's purpose from a distance, she promised to give the belt to Hercules.
But Hera hates Hercules. Dressed as an Amazon woman, she spread rumors among the crowd that a foreigner wanted to kidnap their queen. Hearing the news, the Amazon immediately got on horseback and attacked Hercules, who lived in a tent outside the city. So, there was a fierce battle; Brave Amazonian women rebelled against Heracles's followers, and another group of battle-hardened women rushed to Heracles. Ella, the first woman to fight Hercules, is called the whirlwind girl because she runs like the wind. But Hercules runs faster than her. When she was defeated and fled, Hercules caught up with her and killed her. The second woman was knocked down as soon as she hit her. At this moment, a third woman came along, named Pelot. She won seven times in the individual competition, but she was also killed this time. After her, eight women came up, three of them were warriors chosen in Artemis' hunting, and their spears were very accurate. However, in this battle, they lost their prestige and could not shoot at the target. Hercules beat them all. Archibald, who vowed never to get married, also fell on the battlefield. Finally, even Hercules, the leader of Amazon women, was captured alive. Amazon women suddenly dispersed and fled. Queen Hippolyta gave her a belt, which she promised to give her before the battle. Hercules took off his belt and put it back at the same time. (10) Red Bull rushed back to Jiraun from Illetia Island, and erected two steep rocks (namely Hercules Stone Column) at the end of the Mediterranean Sea; Hercules laid the belt of Queen Hippolyta at the feet of King Eurystheus. Eurystheus didn't let him have a rest, and then sent him to bring back the cow of Groweng. Gloon is a giant. He lives on Eliza Island in the Gulf of Catalonia. He has a herd of red and brown cows, and he is looked after by another giant and a two-headed hound. He is as tall as a mountain, with three heads and six arms, three bodies and six legs. No one in the world dares to fight him. Hercules knew that it would take careful preparation to accomplish this arduous task, because Groweng's father was a world-famous rich man. His nickname is "Jin Jian" and he is the king of all Italy. Iberia was later divided into Spain and Portugal. In addition to Gaffan, he has three tall and brave sons, each of whom commands a mighty and skillful army. Because of this, King Eurystheus gave Hercules such a task. He hoped that Hercules would be killed there when he conquered this country and never come back. But Hercules is not afraid of this task. He formed an army as before, assembled his troops rescued from wild animals in Crete, and then landed in Libya by boat. Here, he fought the giant Antaeus. Antaeus is the son of Poseidon and Gaia, the mother of the earth. Anyone passing through Libya must fight with him. However, in battle, Antaeus can draw strength from Mother Earth, as long as she doesn't leave the earth. Hercules knocked him down three times and finally discovered the secret of his recovery. So he lifted Antaeus into the air with strong arms and hanged him. He also wiped out the fierce animals in Libya.
