In the fourth labor, Herakles was ordered to bring
alive the wild boar living in the mount of Erymanthus, which was attacking
the people and killing them.
Herakles visited his friend centaur Pholus. Upon Herakles
insistence, Pholus offered him the wine belonging to the whole community
of the centaurs. When the centaurs found out, they became angry and a
fierce fighting started, in which Herakles killed many of them and wounded
the centaur Chiron.
After the incident Herakles chased the boar, which fall into a deep patch
of snow and trapped the animal with a net. |
