The Labours of Heracles (Part 1)
The Labours of Heracles (part 1) Long ago, a baby boy was asleep in a nursery. The door was open to let the cool breeze waft into the room. However, it was not just the air that could enter the room. First one, and then a second snake slithered in through the gap. They had been sent by the goddess Hera, Queen of Heaven. It’s hard to understand how anyone, even a goddess, could hold anything against innocent children, but her immortal heart was filled with hatred for the baby boy. His mother was a human woman, but his father was none other than Zeus, Lord of Heaven, and husband of Hera. In short, Hera was jealous. The snakes slid towards the bed. The baby stretched and yawned. The viper who was out in front stuck out his tongue and hissed. It reared its head to see if it could reach the top of the mattress. That was the last thing it did, because the boy shot out his hand and grabbed it by the neck. The other snake slid swiftly across the floor towards him, but the child grabbed that one too and began to shake it violently. The nurse heard the commotion came rushing into the nursery, but it was too late – for the snakes. The boy, whose name was Heracles, had killed them both. The boy grew into a teenager, and he was without doubt the strongest human who had ever walked on the face of the Earth. Still young, he was a formidable sight, with his towering height and his huge muscles.

The Lion Hercules). He was the son of Zeus (king of the of Nemea gods) and a mortal woman, Alkmene. Ironically, his name means “the glory” (kleos) of Hera (queen of the gods), his jealous stepmother, who drove him mad and caused him to kill his wife and children. As penance, the hero was bound to serve King Eurystheus of Mycenae and Tiryns. The king sent him on a series of The Lion of Nemea had an impervious hide difficult tasks, or labors, twelve of which and could not be killed with traditional weapons.

Hybrid Monsters
HYBRID MONSTERS IN THE CLASSICAL WORLD THE NATURE AND FUNCTION OF HYBRID MONSTERS IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY, LITERATURE AND ART by Liane Posthumus Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Philosophy in Ancient Cultures at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Prof. J.C. Thom Co-supervisor: Dr. S. Thom Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of Ancient Studies March 2011 Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the authorship owner thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 28 February 2011 Copyright © 2010 University of Stellenbosch All rights reserved i ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to explore the purpose of monster figures by investigating the relationship between these creatures and the cultures in which they are generated. It focuses specifically on the human-animal hybrid monsters in the mythology, literature and art of ancient Greece. It attempts to answer the question of the purpose of these monsters by looking specifically at the nature of man- horse monsters and the ways in which their dichotomous internal and external composition challenged the cultural taxonomy of ancient Greece. It also looks at the function of monsters in a ritual context and how the Theseus myth, as initiation myth, and the Minotaur, as hybrid monster, conforms to the expectations of ritual monsters. The investigation starts by considering the history and uses of the term “monster” in an attempt to arrive at a reasonable definition of monstrosity.

Stesichorus' Geryoneis and the Sympathetic Monsters Of
Weird Pathos: Stesichorus’ Geryoneis and the Sympathetic Monsters of Apollonius’ Argonautica This paper argues for the pervasive influence of Stesichorus’ Geryoneis on the representation of monsters in Apollonius’ Argonautica, with a particular focus on the Hesperides episode in Book 4. Stesichorus’ sympathetic, even ennobling depiction of the three-bodied monster Geryon is perhaps the most striking feature of the surviving fragments of his poem, and the subject of much scholarly discussion (e.g., Franzen 2009, Curtis 2011: 43–45, Noussia- Fantuzzi 2013). Equally, scholars have long noted that several of the monsters of Apollonius’ Argonautica, such as the bronze man Talos or the poem’s two sets of earthborn warriors, cut a curiously sympathetic figure, creating a “weird pathos” (Hunter 1993: 42) as they are slain by the poem’s protagonists. To date, the influence of the Geryoneis on Apollonius’ monsters has been tentatively suggested for only one passage (Kouremenos 1996: 237 n. 13, Kauffman 2016: 385– 386): Stesichorus’ striking poppy simile (S 15 col ii.14–17) has been adduced as a potential model for the Apollonian simile comparing the drooping corpses of Jason’s earthborn foes to newly-planted shoots weighed down by heavy rains (Arg. 3.1396–1404). In fact, the suggestion of a link between these similes is borne out by other parallels between these passages, most notably the fact that both Heracles and Jason initiate combat by crouching stealthily and throwing a stone at their unsuspecting monstrous opponents (S 15.7–14; Arg. 3.1369; cf. 1057). This evidence shows that it is not only appropriate to read Jason’s ruthless slaughter of the sown men in light of Heracles’ brutal execution of Geryon, but furthermore, it invites consideration of the influence of the Geryoneis on other Apollonian monsters.

From the beginning, Hera loathed Heracles as a son from one of Zeus’ infidelities. Zeus had made love to the mortal woman Alcmene by disguising himself as her husband. The same night her true husband returned and also made love to her. As a result, she carried twins from two fathers.
