After the death of Heracles's children by Megara, daughter of Creon (Therimachus, Deicoon\, Creontiades, and Ophites) he went into exile and arriving at Delphi, the Pythian priestess told him to dwell in Tiryns, serving Eurystheus for twelve years and to perform ten labors (which became twelve). His success of these was a repenting of the death of his children.

His other deeds ensured his apotheosis, becoming a god.
