Accordingly, how did Hercules kill Antaeus?Antaeus fought Heracles as he was on his way to the Garden of Hesperides as his 11th Labour. Heracles realized that he could not beat Antaeus by throwing or pinning him. Instead, he held him aloft and then crushed him to death in a bear hug.Furthermore, who actually got the apples of the Hesperides for Heracles? The apples were on an island hidden at the edge of the world and were guarded by a dragon named Ladon who had 100 heads and Atlas’s daughter the nymph Hesperides. The apples were a wedding present from Hera to Zeus and was said to grant immortality to whoever should eat the apples. Accordingly, how did Hercules free Prometheus? For his crimes, Prometheus is punished by Zeus who bound him with chains, and sent an eagle to eat Prometheus’ immortal liver every day, which then grew back every night. Years later, the Greek hero Heracles, with Zeus’ permission, killed the eagle and freed Prometheus from this torment (521–529).Who helped Hercules on his labors?As part of his sentence, Hercules had to perform twelve Labors, feats so difficult that they seemed impossible. Fortunately, Hercules had the help of Hermes and Athena, sympathetic deities who showed up when he really needed help.
