In Greek mythology, the Twelve Labours of Hercules were a series of legendary feats performed by the hero Herakles.
Context
Driven mad by Hera, Herakles slew his wife Megara and their children. After recovering his sanity, he traveled to the Sanctuary of Delphi to inquire how he could atone for his actions; he was instructed by the Pythia to go to Tiryns and serve his cousin, King Eurystheus, for twelve years. Therefore, Eurystheus set twelve tasks for Herakles.
