The 12 labours of Hercules(#7)

What next on this list of perilous tasks? Let’s ask the big H himself. “Capture the cretan bull.” he read.”Well that’s hard.” The cretan bull is the result of King Minos’s own greed. He promised he would sacrifice whatever Poseidon, king of the seas sent him to prove to his people that he was the son of Zeus and worthy to lead them. So Poseidon sent him a bull. But Minos thought the bull was too beautiful to be sacrificed and sacrificed another one to fool Poseidon and hid the real one in his herd. Poseidon realized he’d been tricked instantly and cursed the real bull so that it went mad and started destroying his kingdom as revenge. Hercules just caught it easily and put another check mark on his list.(as he did it so quickly in the myth, you can just change it so that he had a bit of a struggle if you want). THen he went to his next task. What is it? Who knows, we’ll find out next time, bye!
