Story Plot

Episode 4: The Boar A harsh winter came over Greece and Heracles was tasked with a new labour: capture the Erymanthian Boar and return it alive. The Boar was known to be ruthless and massive. Heracles found shelter from the cold in a cave full of wine. Drinking the wine to warm himself, the cave dweller emerged from the snow. The centaur Chiron, Heracles' former trainer, greeted Heracles. Chiron and Heracles drank after nearly a decade apart as Chiron told stories of the heroes he trained and of the gods above. Heracles asked Chiron if he knew of any gods who may not support him. Chiron explained that Heracles' name was a misnomer. His name meant "Hera Kleos", the Pride of Hera, but it was the queen of the gods who hated him most. Hera hated Heracles for being a bastard product of her husband Zeus' lust. If anyone on Olympus wished him dead, it would be her. As Heracles left the cave, he encountered the Boar and drove it into thick snow where it became immobilized. Heracles grabbed the beast by its tusks and brought it to Eurystheus telling him to sacrifice it...in the name of Hera.
