This document summarizes the myth of Hercules fighting the river god Achelous over the right to marry Deianeira. It describes how Hercules defeats Achelous in a wrestling match, breaking off one of his horns. Achelous offers to exchange this horn for the horn of Amalthea, which Hercules accepts. Hercules then gifts Amalthea's horn to Deianeira's father Oineas, who is so grateful that he allows Hercules to marry Deianeira.
