Idioms and Slangs Episode2

Hercules, known as Heracles in Greek mythology, is one of the most celebrated heroes renowned for his incredible strength, courage, and determination. The Twelve Labors of Hercules are a series of tasks that he was assigned to atone for a grave sin—killing his own family in a fit of madness, inflicted upon him by the goddess Hera. These labors were both a punishment and a path to redemption.

The tasks, given by King Eurystheus of Tiryns, were meant to be impossible feats, designed to test Hercules to the very limits of his abilities. 

The story of Hercules and the Twelve Labors is a powerful tale of perseverance, redemption, and the triumph of the human spirit over insurmountable odds. 

TRANSCRIPT:

Ο πρώτος άθλος του Ηρακλή ήταν να σκοτώσει το λιοντάρι της Νεµέας. Το φοβερό αυτό λιοντάρι ήταν της Ήρας και το είχε µεγαλώσει η ίδια. Το δέρµα του ήταν τόσο σκληρό που τα σιδερένια βέλη δεν το περνούσαν. Ζούσε σε µια σπηλιά µε δυο εισόδους, στην πλαγιά ενός βουνού κοντά στη Νεµέα. Από εκεί κατέβαινε στην πεδιάδα και κατασπάραζε ζώα και ανθρώπους. Οι κάτοικοι ήταν απελπισµένοι και δεν τολµούσαν να βγουν στην εξοχή.

Ο Ηρακλής, πηγαίνοντας στη Νεµέα, πέρασε από το ιερό άλσος της πόλης, έκοψε µια αγριελιά και με το ξύλο της έφτιαξε ένα βαρύ ρόπαλο. Μετά πήγε και περίµενε κοντά στη φωλιά του λιονταριού. Όταν εμφανίστηκε, ο Ηρακλής το χτύπησε µε τα βέλη του. Τα βέλη όμως έπεσαν στη γη χωρίς αποτέλεσμα και το εξαγριωμένο λιοντάρι επιτέθηκε στον Ηρακλή. Τότε αυτός το χτύπησε µε το ρόπαλο του. Το λιοντάρι πόνεσε και κρύφτηκε στη σπηλιά του. Ο Ηρακλής τότε πήρε µεγάλες πέτρες, έκλεισε τη µια είσοδο και µπήκε από την άλλη. Το λιοντάρι βρυχήθηκε και όρµησε πάνω στον ήρωα. Πάλευαν για µια ώρα αλλά στο τέλος, ο Ηρακλής κατάφερε να το πνίξει με τα χέρια του. Μετά πήρε το δέρµα του, τη λεοντή, τη φόρεσε και γύρισε στις Μυκήνες. Όταν τον είδε ο Ευρυσθέας με τη λεοντή τρόµαξε τόσο πολύ που διέταξε να του φτιάξουν ένα χάλκινο πιθάρι, για να κρύβεται όταν θα κινδύνευε.
