Heracles when driven mad by the Goddess Hera
Murdered
his three children and his wife Megara
The
Delphic oracle punished him for the murders
By ordering him to perform the Twelve Labour's
The labour's were set by King Eurystheus his cousin
And
his first task was killing the Nemean Lion
It
was no ordinary lion but a supernatural monster
Its
skin could not be penetrated by arrow or spear
So,
he blocked the entrance to the lion's cave
And
then Heracles entered fearless and brave
At
close quarters he fought the creature fiercely
And
strangled it with his bare hands savagely
Ever
after he wore its skin about him as a cape
And
as a helmet he wore its head with jaws agape
