The Twelve Labors Of Heracles Or Hercules?

The twelve labors of Heracles or Hercules are a series of incidents concerning a penance carried out by Heracles, the greatest of the Greek heroes, whose name was later Romanized as Hercules. They were accomplished over 12 years at the service of King Eurystheus. The events were later connected by a continuous narrative. The establishment of a fixed cycle of twelve labors was attributed by the Greeks to an epic poem, now lost, written by Peisander, and dated about 600 BC.
At a time of his life, Hercules became insane and as a result he killed his children. When his sanity returned, he received instructions from Pythia, the priestess of the oracle in Delphi, to go to Tiryns and perform any ten labors devised from him by king Eurystheus. In
