Heracles was required to travel to Erytheia, in
order to obtain the Cattle of Geryon (Γηρυόνου

crossed the Libyan desert and became so
frustrated at the heat that he shot an arrow at

courage" gave Heracles the golden chariot he
used to sail across the sea from west to east
each night. Heracles used it to reach Erytheia,

Mosaic depicting the madness of Heracles ,3rd-4th century CE
(National Archaeology Museum of Lisbon, Portugal).
When Hercules grew up and had become a great warrior, he married Megara. They
had two children. Hercules and Megara were very happy, but life didn't turn out
for them the way it does in the movie. Hera sent a fit of madness to Hercules that
put him into such a rage,that he murdered Megara and the children. When
Hercules regained his senses and saw the horrible thing that he had done, he
asked the god Apollo to rid him of this pollution. Apollo commanded the hero to do
certain tasks as a punishment for his wrongs, so that the evil might be cleansed
from his spirit.

with her; he learned from Tiresias
