The 12 labors of Hercules(#3)

When we left our good pal Hercules, He was checking his list for the third task. “Capture the the Ceryneian Hind…” read Hercules “Is he kidding! If you try that Artemis will come and kill you!” Yelled Hercules. The Ceryneian Hind is the only wild deer left from the herd that pulls Artemis’s chariot. It was smart enough to escape her, so she made it her sacred animal. Also it’s hind is made of gold. “He must be trying to hire the gods as hitmen so I can never finish my tasks!” he exclaimed(#amongusreference)”Wait minute. The gods probably won’t like that….”he said as a plan formed in his mind. So after a while, he had made a plan. He set out to find the Ceryneian Hind as his nephew rode home on his chariot. After a really long time he finally caught it in a snare. But as he went over to it Artemis and her brother Apollo appeared in front of him.” What do you think you’re doing?” Artemis asked him. “My cousin, Eurystheus, king of Tiryns gave be 10 tasks to do, but this is one of them, and he know that you would have to kill me then.” He answered.” SO HE’S TRYING TO USE US AS HITMEN!” Apollo roared. Artemis’s eyes burned with anger. “If this king ever goes hunting from now on, he better be careful.” she said.” If you release the hind after then I will have no reason to kill you.” And on that note they left him with the hind securely tied up. #3 done. What’s next? you’ll have to find out in the next part. Bye now!
