After he completed the 12 Labors set forth by King Eurystheus, Hercules became a legend in Greek mythology.
He slayed lions, captured beasts, defeated a carnivorous bird and more on his triumphant conquest of penance. The hero and each of his 12 Labors are memorialized through the exclusive 12 Labors of Hercules Series from Provident Metals.
