1. Hercules completed twelve labors. Which one required
A. the greatest strength? The Hydra
The Hydra had nine heads, one of which was immortal. The other eight were equally dangerous. If a warrior cut off one head, two more grew in its place. Hercules brought his nephew Iolus to help him. As Hercules cut off one head, Iolus seared the neck with a hot brand so a new head couldn't grow. After they cut off the eight mortal heads, Hercules buried the ninth one under a huge rock.
B. the most courage? Cerberus, the Three-Headed Dog
Hercules' last job was to bring Cerberus up from the Underworld. Hades, king of the underworld, agreed to let Cerberus go as long as Hercules didn't use any weapons on him. Hercules lifted Cerberus up and carried him to Eurystheus. Cereberus was very dangerous, so Eurystheus made Hercules take him back. That was the last of his labors.
C. the most cleverness? The Cattle of Geryon
Geryon was a monster with three bodies. He lived on Erythia, an island way in the west. On his way to get the cattle, Hercules set up two great stones, called the Pillars of Hercules. Today they are the mighty rocks Gibralter and Ceuta at the western entrance of the Mediterranean Sea.
