Hercules had to do the twelve labours as a punishment by King Eurystheus for Hercules killed Eurystheuses beautiful daughter and his own kids(bet you don’t know why…he killed his family he had blood rage in him self that he can not control). His first labour was to kill and bring the Nemean Lion fur but don’t be fooled it’s mane is so thick it can break swords and arrows. It is said the monster terrorised villages in the mountains. Hercules went of to the mountains and then saw the giant lion in it’s flesh and skin. It strait away went for the weapon to disarm the young man but Hercules went to grab the jaws of the mighty beast and put the upper jaw to the left and the bottom jaw to the right ripped out the flesh of it and ate it at the end, made a cape of it as defence and as a symbol
