Hero

He killed a lion with bare hands - and slayed the nine-headed hydra
A year to catch the golden hind - patient is the hero
He captured the Erymanthian boar - and cleaned the Augean stables
The man-eating Stymphalian birds - shot down by his arrows

Greatest of the Greek heroes
Champion of the Olympian order

He caught the mighty Cretan bull - stole the mares of Diomedes
The girdle of Hippolyta - returned by him
He herded back the cattle of Geryon - and stole the golden apples
He persuaded the god of the dead - to hand over Cerberus

Gatekeeper of Olympus
Champion of the Olympian order
