【Hercules and the Nemean Lion】

 

【Hercules and the Nemean Lion】

 

the first labor

the Nemean Lion had huge teeth

and skin so tough that

 

it could not be pierced by arrows

 

Everyone in the land of Nemean

was scared to death of it

Many Hunters had tried to kill the beast

but none had succeeded

 

the Nemean lion was also smart

several Hunters had tried to trick it with poisoned meat

the lion never ate the meat

 

he did however eat the hunters

the lion was strong but Hercules was Stronger

Hercules lured the Beast into a trap and strangled it

he made a coat 

out of the Lion's fur

he wore the 

lion's head as a helmet

 

with the cheers of the Grateful people of Nemean  

ringing in his ears

Hercules headed for home

delighted with his new clothes

when King Eury saw the lion's head approaching

 

he went screaming into his castle

it took Hercules most of one day to convince King Eury

that the lion was dead

to continue the Epic Quest of Hercules

【赫拉克勒斯與尼米亞雄獅】

第一項任務

 

尼米亞雄獅長著巨大的牙齒

 

而且皮膚堅韌無比，

 

箭矢都無法刺穿它

 

尼米亞的每個人都對它恐懼萬分

 

許多獵人都曾試圖殺死這頭野獸

 

但無人成功

 

尼米亞雄獅也很聰明

 

有些獵人試圖用毒肉引誘它

 

雄獅從未吃過毒肉

 

但牠吃掉了獵人

 

雄獅力大無窮，但赫拉克勒斯更勝一籌

 

赫拉克勒斯將雄獅引誘到陷阱中，

 

勒死了它

 

他用雄獅的皮毛做了一件外套

 

他把雄獅的頭顱戴在頭上

 

尼米亞人民歡呼雀躍，

 

歡呼聲響徹雲霄在他耳邊

 

 

赫拉克勒斯踏上回家之路

 

對他的新衣服很滿意

 

當尤里國王看到獅子頭靠近時

 

他尖叫著跑進了他的城堡

 

赫拉克勒斯花了大半天的時間說服尤里國王~獅子已經死了

 

赫拉克勒斯繼續他下一個艱鉅的任務
