Episode 5: The Stables Enraged by Heracles' success, Hera and Eurystheus plotted against their foe. If they could not best him in a feat of hunt, they could humiliate him, shatter his spirit. Heracles was sent to King Augeas who owned the most cattle in all of Greece. He was tasked with cleaning the king's stables, home of a thousand immortal cows. The only problem was that the stables hadn't been cleaned in over 30 years. There were mountains of manure. For weeks, Heracles shoveled the heaps of dung as the entire kingdom of Augeus laughed at him. Heracles knew Eurystheus was trying to break his spirit but like any hunt, Heracles only had to outsmart his quarry. With his bare hands, Heracles rerouted the nearby rivers to flood the stables and wash the mountains of cattle manure straight to Augeus' front door. When Heracles returned to Eurystheus, the hero was denied the completion for his labour. Eurystheus claimed that the river cleaned the stables and not Heracles. Rage filled Heracles' veins but he refused to give Eurystheus the satisfaction of his broken spirit. Heracles accepted his defeat humbly and awaited his next labour as Hera cackled maniacally above in Olympus.
