Once, in Thebes was a man called Hercules. He is the step-son of Amphitryon and the son of Alcmene. The wife of Zeus, Hera, is angry at Hercules and tries everything to kill him. Hercules' journey doesn't really start until he drinks wine, and takes out his anger over all of his family; his wife, children, mother and almost kills his step-father. The Gods ordered that he would serve the king of Argos which is his cruel couisn. At first, Eurytheus underestimated Hercules and ordered him to kill the Nemean lion. Hercules kills it and makes the lions pelt his clothes. The king oders him to kill the Hydra, and then he orders Hercules to bring back the 'beautiful' Cyrenia stag. He searches for a year and finds it, and brings the stag back. Then he cleans out the filthy stables of Augean. Then, Hercules saves all the men and women in Stamphylia from the Bladebills. They are horrible birds that eat everything in site, however, Hercules saves everyone. The most current heroic deed I have read is when the sea God Poseidon is tired of hearing people talk about Hercules and not him. He creates a bull but Hercules stops it.

Bryna, good summary! Please read over again before I grade. You made several spelling errors, and left some words out. Also, a few hard to understand sentences. Re-read and edit and I will read again tomorrow.
