Description: The Nemean lion was a fierce creature that terrorized the people of Argolis in ancient Greece. It was the son of the monsters Typhon and Echidna and brother to the Theban Sphinx

As his first Labor, Hercules had to kill the Nemean lion and bring the skin back to his cousin, the King of Mycenae. Hercules travelled to the Nemean plain in search of the great beast. At first, he tried to kill the lion with bronze-tipped arrows, but the arrows bounced off of the lion's tough hide. Realizing that regular weapons could not harm the lion, Hercules used his arms to strangle the lion to death. After killing the lion, the hero used the lion's own claws to skin the carcass. He returned to Mycenae with the skin, which became his trademark armor.
