History
Origin[]
Augeas and Hercules were part of the Argonauts.[2]
Twelve Labors of Hercules[]
King Augeas of Elis owned more cattle than anyone in Greece, and was among the richest men in Greece. Thousands of cows lived in his Augean Stables.[2]
In 1272 B.C., as part of his Twelve Labors, Hercules was told to clean them completely, but Hercules bet a tenth of the stock that he could told to clean them completely in a single day. While Hercules actually tried to the task manually, in vain, Forgotten One, an Eternal who was mistaken for Hercules, diverted two rivers so that they flowed into the stables, sweeping out the filth.[2]
In 1263 B.C., when King Augeas refused to pay his due after he cleaned the Augean Stables. Hercules attacked the city but was confronted by the Olympians who were worshipped in the city. Olympians backed down when defeated in battle when Athena arrived.[3]See Also
