00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Hello everyone, we are Celia and Zaffa and today we are going to talk about one of the most famous Greek myths, the one of Hercules or Heracles.

2
00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:11,779
There are many versions.

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,359
There is one of them which says that Hercules was the son of Zeus and Alcmin, the princess of Zeus.

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:24,359
Hera, Zeus' wife, was envious of him because he was the son of another woman.

5
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:34,359
That's why she sent two snakes to him and his twin brother Scrib when he was a baby, but Hercules managed to strangle the snake.

6
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:45,359
So when Eurystheus, the king of Greece, wanted to banish Amphitryon, the king of thieves, Hercules offered to do ten very dangerous jobs in ninety-nine months.

7
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:51,359
First was to kill the Nemean lion, a lion with indestructible skin.

8
00:00:51,359 --> 00:00:57,359
Hercules blocked the entrance to the cave, strangled him and led through another, smaller entrance.

9
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:02,359
Additionally, an armor was made with the lion's skin as a prize.

10
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:09,359
The second was to kill the Lernian Hydra, a monster with fifty heads that terrorized the Psalms of Lerna.

11
00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:17,359
The problem is that when you cut off one head, two news one group, so his servant burned them as Hercules cut them.

12
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:23,799
The third was to capture the deer of Terinia, which belonged to the goddess Artemisa.

13
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:29,239
It took Hercules a year to find her, and he did it without shedding a single drop of blood

14
00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:35,040
by shooting it with an arrow in its tendon, because if he had drawn blood, Artemisa would

15
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,159
have been very angry.

16
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:42,239
The fourth job was to kill the Egymanthian boar, a very ferocious beast.

17
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:48,500
Hercules chased him until winter, where the boar got stuck in a large mound of snow.

18
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,040
Hercules then caught him and killed him.

19
00:01:52,659 --> 00:01:58,739
The fifth was to clean the stables of King Odias, a king whose stables were very dirty.

20
00:01:59,180 --> 00:02:04,459
Hercules changed the course of a nearby river and got the water to clean the stables.

21
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:14,199
The sixth job was to spell the Stymphalian birds, which were very dangerous birds with bronze claws.

22
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:24,139
Hercules could not spell them until the goddess Athenea gave him bronze bells which he could spell the birds, which could not stand the noise.

23
00:02:25,379 --> 00:02:29,419
The seventh job was capture a bull that was terrorizing Crete.

24
00:02:29,979 --> 00:02:35,939
Hercules managed to capture him by jumping from a tree and sticking a ring in his nose.

25
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:40,300
In that way, he was able to control it and took it to Eurystheus.

26
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:43,759
Hercules captured the four mares of Cain Diomedes of Thrace.

27
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:55,520
They were mares that ate human flesh and Hercules stole them from the royal stable and gave them to his groom Abderus while he was fighting against Diomedes.

28
00:02:55,939 --> 00:02:58,740
In the end, he left him senseless.

29
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,360
Finally, the mares ate Abderus and Hercules, very sad, returned to Greece.

30
00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:11,900
The ninth job was to get the golden belt from the queens of the Amazons, Hippolyta.

31
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:16,939
The Amazons were warrior girls who lived south of the Black Sea.

32
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:31,180
Hippolyta fell in love with him, but Hera transformed into an Amazon and made the Amazons believe that Hercules wanted to kidnap Hippolyta and they shot Hercules killing Hippolyta.

33
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:34,360
But Hercules managed to take the belt.

34
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:44,900
Tenth job was to steal the flock of a giant called Geryon, who had three trunks and three hearts, so he was very difficult to kill.

35
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:51,460
Hercules achieved this by shooting an arrow that hit him in all three hearts at the same time.

36
00:03:51,460 --> 00:04:10,080
But Eurystheus, angry because Hercules had managed to do all the jobs, said that he had cheated in the second job and in the fifth, because in the second his servant had helped him, and in the fifth because he said that Odias had paid him.

37
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,939
That's why he had to do two more jobs, which were the following.

38
00:04:14,939 --> 00:04:20,740
The 12th job was to bring an apple from the garden of the Hesperides, a very dangerous sacred place.

39
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:25,660
That's why Hercules tracked a giant called Atlas who held the sky into taking them.

40
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:35,639
After taking them, Atlas tried to escape but Hercules told him if he could hold the sky for a moment so that he could put his cape on properly.

41
00:04:36,019 --> 00:04:38,620
And that's how he tracked him and got the apples.

42
00:04:38,620 --> 00:04:48,709
The twelfth job was to tame the dog of the god Hades, Cerberus, a very dangerous, three-headed dog.

43
00:04:49,350 --> 00:05:00,129
Hercules asked Hades and Persephone to let him have Cerberus and when Eurystheus saw him, he was so scared that he set him free.

44
00:05:00,790 --> 00:05:06,110
Hercules died because his wife Deianira put poison on his shirt without Hercules knowing.

45
00:05:06,110 --> 00:05:25,480
she did it because she thought that hercules was cheating on her in the end hercules died but the gods named him a minor god and gold-keeper of the olympus thank you very much to all
