The Cerynitian hinds were five golden-horned immortal deer
Sacred
to the goddess Artemis whose golden horns shone clear
Larger
than bulls four of them pulled Artemis in her chariot
Hera
helped the fifth one to escape as part of a devious plot
And
it crossed the river Kelodon into the mountains of arcadia
Heracles
was tasked as a labor to capture the golden hind later
And
without shedding a drop of its blood Heracles did this
Afterwards
he set the hind free to placate the goddess Artemis
