Labours of Hercules
classical mythology

Heracles waged a victorious war against the kingdom of Orchomenus in Boeotia and
married Megara, daughter of Creon, king of Thebes. But he killed her and their children in
a fit of madness sent by Hera and, consequently, was obliged to become the servant of
Eurystheus. It was Eurystheus who imposed upon Heracles the famous Labours, later
arranged in a cycle of 12, usually as follows: (1) the slaying of the Nemean lion, whose
skin he thereafter wore; (2) the slaying of the nine-headed Hydra of Lerna; (3) the capture
of the elusive hind (or stag) of Arcadia; (4) the capture of the wild boar of Mount
Erymanthus; (5) the cleansing, in a single day, of the cattle stables of King Augeas of Elis;
(6) the shooting of the monstrous man-eating birds of the Stymphalian marshes; (7) the
capture of the mad bull that terrorized the island of Crete; (8) the capture of the man-eating
mares of King Diomedes of the Bistones; (9) the taking of the girdle of Hippolyte, queen of
the Amazons; (10) the seizing of the cattle of the three-bodied giant Geryon, who ruled the
island Erytheia (meaning red) in the far west; (11) the bringing back of the golden apples
kept at the world’s end by the Hesperides; and (12) the fetching up from the underworld of
the triple-headed dog Cerberus, guardian of its gates.

Having completed the Labours, Heracles undertook further enterprises, including warlike
campaigns. He also successfully fought the river god Achelous for the hand of Deianeira.
As he was taking her home, the Centaur Nessus tried to violate her, and Heracles shot him
with one of his poisoned arrows. The Centaur, dying, told Deianeira to preserve the blood
from his wound, for if Heracles wore a garment rubbed with it he would love none but her
forever. Several years later Heracles fell in love with Iole, daughter of Eurytus, king of
Oechalia. Deianeira, realizing that Iole was a dangerous rival, sent Heracles a garment
smeared with the blood of Nessus. The blood proved to be a powerful poison, and Heracles
died. His body was placed on a pyre on Mount Oeta (Modern Greek Oíti), his mortal part
was consumed, and his divine part ascended to heaven, becoming a god. There he was
reconciled to Hera and married Hebe. In art and literature, Heracles was represented as an
enormously strong man of moderate height, a huge eater and drinker, very amorous, and
generally kindly but with occasional outbursts of brutal rage. His characteristic weapon was
the bow but frequently also the club. In Italy he was worshipped as a god of merchants and
traders, although others also prayed to him for his characteristic gifts of good luck or rescue
from danger.
Hesperides, in Greek mythology, clear-voiced maidens who guarded the tree bearing
golden apples that Gaea gave to Hera at her marriage to Zeus. According to Hesiod, they
were the daughters of Erebus and Night; in other accounts, their parents were Atlas and
Hesperis or Phorcys and Ceto. They were usually three in number, Aegle, Erytheia, and
Hespere (or Hesperethusa), but by some accounts were as many as seven. They were
usually said to live in the west beyond the sunset, but the Greek poet and grammarian
Apollonius of Rhodes (3rd century bc) placed them in North Africa, and the mythographer
Apollodorus (2nd century bc) located them among the Hyperboreans. The golden apples
were also guarded by the dragon Ladon, the offspring of Phorcys and Ceto. As Ladon is the
name of an Arcadian river, Arcadia was possibly the original site of the garden. The golden
apples figured in different accounts of Heracles’ 11th Labour. In one version Heracles
slayed the dragon and took the apples. In another version Heracles held the heavens while
Atlas took the apples for him. In some artistic representations Heracles dines with the
Hesperides, who freely give him the apples. The golden apples that Aphrodite gave to
Hippomenes before his race with Atalanta were also from the garden of the Hesperides.
Myth, a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that
ostensibly relates actual events and that is especially associated with religious belief. It is
distinguished from symbolic behaviour (cult, ritual) and symbolic places or objects
(temples, icons).
