The Nemean lion

The first of the twelve athls  labours of Heracles was to kill the Nemean lion.

The lion of Nemea had very hard skin ,which couldn't  be  hurted from by any weapon.

It lived at the mountains on in Nemea and was the monster of the region

Heracles at first used his bow and sword to kill it without any result . Eventually he fought  it with his bare hands and killed  it.

When he returned at to his cousin's palace , his cousin Eurystheus was amazed and terrified.
