Hecules labours II. Augean stables.

Hercules cleaning Augean stables.

Other task which Hercules had to achieve was the cleaning of Augean stables.

Augeas was king in old Greece. He had a very wide stables; but he had not cleaned them never. A lot of manure pilled there, and nobody dared to face the task.

Hercules was conmined to clean the stables, but only in ONE DAY. An imposible work, even for a hero. Fortunately Hercules, apart of strong, was intelligent. He went to the mountains and he diverted a river directly to the stables. Thus, the water of the river cleaned them, and Hercules could finish his work in a single day.
