Heracles Slaying The Erymanthian Boar

The five tasks which Heracles had to do are as follows, the first one was to slay the Nemean Lion and bring back its skin.The second one was to Slay the Lernaean Hydra.The third one was to Capture the Ceryneian Hind.The fourth one was to Capture the Erymanthian Boar and the last but not least was to Clean the Augean stables in one day. He accomplishes first task of blocking one of the doorways of Lions cave and approached the beast through the other,he than grasped him with his mighty arms and choked him to death with Lions on powerful claws.He accomplished the second task by shooting arrows with flames at the den of coily creature once she appeared in front of Heracles he seized it.But it was not easy to kill it that easily, so once he had removed and destroyed the eight mortal heads, he chopped off the ninth head, which was immortal after that he buried it at the side of the road from Lerna to Elaeus and for precautions he covered it with a heavy rock, lastly for the rest of the hapless hydra he slit open the corpse and dipped his own arrows the venomous blood.He accomplished the third task by shooting Hind while she was
about to cross the stream after he caught the deer he carried her on his shoulders and turned on his way back to Mycenae. While Heracles was in a great hurry on his way he meets Diana and Apollo.
Diana was not so happy about Heracales trying to kill her sacred animal she was so angry that he was about to take Hind way from Heracles and also she would have punished him, but before she took any further step Heracles told her about his story and how Equrystheus had given him labors to complete.After listening to his story Diana’s angry went away and she healed the deer’s wound due to which Heracles was able to carry it alive to Mycenae.He accomplished his fourth task by chasing the boar around the mountain since he could hear the noise of the beast snorting and stomping as it kept on wandering around to eat something. The boar was frightened and hid in a thicket after which Heracles poked his spear into the thicket and drove the tired animal into a deep patch of
snow. He trapped the boar in a new and carried it to Mycene. Heracles accomplished his fifth task by tearing a big opening in the wall of the cattle- yard where the stables were after that he made another hole in the wall on the opposite side of the yard. He dug wide trenches of two rivers which flowed near by after that he turned the direction of the rivers into the yard. The rivers flowed through the stables and cleaned all the dirt out of them from the hole in the other side of the yard. This is how he accomplished these five tasks.
