King Eurystheus (and the Oracle at Delphi).
In a fit of madness, induced by the goddess Hera, Hercules slew his wife, Megara, and their three children.
The fit then passed and realizing what he had done, he isolated himself, going into the wilderness and living alone.
He was found (by his cousin Theseus) and convinced to visit the Oracle at Delphi to regain his honor.
The Oracle told him that as a penance he would have to perform a series of ten tasks, or labours, set by King Eurystheus, the man who had taken Hercules' birthright and the man he hated the most.
