Stables. Really big ones.
Heracles was to have the tenth part of the oxen as his reward, but when the hero had accomplished his task by leading the rivers Alpheus and Peneus through the stables, Augeas refused to keep his promise. Heracles, therefore, made war upon him, which terminated in his death and that of his sons, with the exception of one, Phyleus, whom Heracles placed on the throne of his father.

King Augeas of Elis.
King Augeas of Elis. His stables were so filthy because they hadn't been cleaned in 30 years and they served as home to 1,000 head of divine cattle. Heracles was given the task to clean the stables in a single day. He did so by rerouting the rivers Alpheus and Peneus through the stables, washing out the filth.
Hercules' sixth labor was to clean the Stables of Augeas in a single day. Augeas, the king of Elis, had vast herds of cattle, and his stables had not been cleaned for years, resulting in a massive accumulation of manure. Hercules accomplished this task by rerouting two rivers, the Alpheus and the Peneus, to wash out the stables. This labor demonstrated his ingenuity and strength, as he completed the seemingly impossible task in the allotted time.

He promised Heracles one tenth of all his cows, but refused to honor the bargain. He only went into it thinking that the task was impossible. Heracles repaid his treachery by killing him.
