King Eurystheus decided Hercules' first task would be to bring him the skin of an invulnerable lion which terrorized the hills around Nemea.
Hercules was clever to follow the lion to a cave which had two entrances, then blocked one of the doorways, and approached the fierce lion through the other. Grasping the lion in his mighty arms, and ignoring its powerful claws, he held it tightly until he'd choked it to death.

A monstrous serpent with nine heads, the Hydra attacked with poisonous venom. Nor was this beast easy prey, since one of the nine heads was immortal and therefore indestructible.
First, Hercules lured the creature from the safety of its den by shooting flaming arrows at it. Each time Hercules was cutting one by one the hydra's heads, his friend Iolaus held a torch to the headless tendons of the neck.
The flames prevented the growth of replacement heads, and finally, Hercules chopped off the ninth, immortal head and buried it by placing a huge rock on top.

Hercules chased the boar round and round the mountain, shouting as loud as he could. The boar frightened and out of breath, hid in a thicket. Hercules poked his spear into the thicket and drove the exhausted animal into a deep patch of snow.
Then he trapped the boar in a net, and carried it all the way to Mycenae. Eurystheus, again amazed and frightened by the hero's powers, hid in his partly buried bronze jar.
