Erymanthyan boar hunt

To Eurystheus, king of Argos, Hercules performed his twelve labors, of which this was the fourth. Out of cowardice Eurystheus used to hide himself in a bronze jar from which his orders were conveyed to Hercules by the refugee Copreus. The wild boar had taken refuge in Erymanthos (now Olonos), a mountain of Arcadia and Elis. Hercules caught the boar, tied it with an iron chain and took it alive to the city of Mycenae.

Para Euristeu, rei da Argólida, realizou Hércules os seus doze trabalhos, dos quais este é o quarto. Por cobardia, Euristeu escondia-se num jarro de bronze donde transmitia as ordens a Hércules pelo refugiado Copreus. O javali vivia refugiado em Erimanto (atual Olonos), montanha da Arcádia e Élida. Hércules apanhou-o, atou-o com uma corrente de ferro e levou-o vivo à cidade de Micenas.
