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 Labors
The
labors were set by his cousin king Eurystheus
The
eighth labor for our hero and his squire Abderus
Was
to captures the man-eating mares of Diomedes
The
King of Thrace was fed to his horses by Heracles
He
soon herded them down to the sea as he planned
Where
he embarked them for Tiryns his homeland
Once
he returned, they were released by Eurystheus
