twelve labors
As punishment for killing his family in a fit of madness, Hercules was required to perform a series of tasks known as the "Twelve Labors of Hercules." These tasks were assigned by King Eurystheus and included challenges such as slaying the Nemean Lion, capturing the Golden Hind of Artemis, and retrieving the Erymanthian Boar. Each labor tested Hercules' immense physical strength, bravery, and cleverness. Completing these tasks ultimately led to his redemption and immortality.
