According to Greek Mythology, Chiron was a half-human, half-horse doctor. This made him the Centaur for Disease Control.

I love how in the middle of Hercules feats he basically just had to take Cerberus for a walk, Hades was like "hey if you can get him outside for a walk and fresh air as long as he isn't hurt that's cool"

[@foulplayer7812]

Capturing Cerberus and bringing him to King Eurystheus was actually Hercules's final labor. But it's still a pleasant change of pace that everyone's favorite three-headed doggy didn't get the usual treatment Hercules gave his previous adversaries and instead went for a vacation from his job.

Hercules wasn't the one at fault for killing his family, it was Hera she did it to make his life miserable like she does with all Zeus's children.

Hercules killed his family because he was driven mad by Hera, though, not because he wanted to do such a thing.

Fun Fact: In some versions of the Spynx myth, she'd ask travelers a lesser-known second riddle, presumably as a backup in case someone managed to solve the first. It goes: "There are two sisters: one gives birth to the other and she, in turn, gives birth to the first. Who are the two sisters?" Think you can solve it like Oedipus?

[@darkball31]

you forgot the *trick* how odicious got out *by telling his name was no one and when he blinded the giant* he said *no one has blinded me* thust none of the other giants did anything

[@randocommando1187]

2 edits. 1) It would be more accurate to say that Zeus fought Typhon and lived to tell about it 😂 Most versions would say it took the combined might of most of the olympians to drop Typhon and allow Zeus to finally trap him. And even that took days of nonstop fighting. 2) Ladon definitely deserves a spot. Ladon is by far the strongest dragon mentioned in all of Greek myth. Raised by the daughters of Atlas, the Hesperides, Ladon was made to guard the golden apples of Hera (I think)? His scales are said to be indestructible and he has 50 heads, each capable and spewing poison on par with the hydra's and fire so hot he could melt a mountain into a puddle. I heard you mention 'A' dragon on the list and some of the feats sound familiar but for clarity sake I just thought you should know.....if you didn't already at least.

[@kevinthomas4064]

The gorgon.... its gaze could turn men to stone..... you could use a.mirror, or you could cut off its head...... but that is the hard way Which way did you choose? The hard way

[@voltrus3783]

I honestly expected the hecatonchires to be on the list.

[@CollateralCurse]

Nice job omitting _why_ Herc killed his family. It wasn’t for no reason. The short version is Hera infected Herc's mind while he was in the middle of battle and caused him to go insane, in which he _mistakenly_ killed his family. Why did she do that? Basically, as an act of revenge against Zeus for one of his _many_ acts of infidelity, of which Herc was a result of. But, ya know. Context! Who needs it? Apparently not Infographics.
