One crush'd, two hissing heads arise, +Till good Iolas to each wound applies +The burning brand. Dipt in the Hydra's gall, +His arrows slightest wound is death to all. + + + + +3 + +The Mænalæan Stag. + +[Illustration] + + +A Stag with horns of gold and feet of brass, +On Mænalus bounds o'er th'unbending grass, +To Dian sacred, this he's doom'd to bring, +Unhurt into the presence of the King, +Forbid to wound, how take a Stag so fleet? +A twelvemonth's end scarce saw the task complete. + + + + +4 + +The Erymanthian Boar. + +[Illustration] + + +To Erymanthus next his course is bent, +To seize the Boar by incensed Dian sent, +The fell destroyer bound he o'er him flings, +And unto scared Eurystheus quickly brings, +The trembling Tyrant shrinks aghast with dread, +And in his brazen Vessel hides his coward head. + + + + +5 + +The Stables of Augeas. + +[Illustration] + + +To cleanse the Augean Stables now he's sped, +Where thirty years three thousand Oxen fed; +The task for man too great. A river's course +He turn'd, & thro' the stables urged its force, +The tide resistless rolls, and in one day +The gather'd filth of years is swept away. + + + + +6 + +The Stymphalides. + +[Illustration] + + +The Lake Stymphalus by his arm was freed, +From those dire birds on human flesh who feed, +By Pallas' aid the dreadful race subdued, +No more its banks with whitening bones are strew'd. +Honour'd by all mankind he now returns, +But still Eurystheus' envious hatred burns. + + + + +7 + +The Cretan Bull. + +[Illustration] + + +A furious Bull with nostrils breathing fire, +To punish Minos sent by Neptune's ire, +Roams wild in vengeance thro' his wide domains, +And death & terror spreads o'er Crete's fair plains; +But soon the bellowing beast alive he caught, +And vainly struggling to Eurystheus brought. + + + + +8 + +Diomedes and his Horses. + +[Illustration] + + +Fell Diomed, whose horses fat with gore, +His subjects bodies in their mangers tore, +He next o'erthrew. And as old authors say, +The Tyrant gave to his own steeds a prey, +On Mount Olympus rent by savage beasts, +No more the horses make on man their horrid feasts. + + + + +9 + +The Amazon Hippolite. + +[Illustration] + + +By Fate constrain'd Eurystheus to obey, +The matchless Hero now must bend his way, +To gain the golden girdle which adorns +The Queen of Amazons.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + diff --git a/22529-8.zip b/22529-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..06e50bb --- /dev/null +++ b/22529-8.zip diff --git a/22529-h.zip b/22529-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a16b78a --- /dev/null +++ b/22529-h.zip diff --git a/22529-h/22529-h.htm b/22529-h/22529-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..266f43d --- /dev/null +++ b/22529-h/22529-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,771 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> +<title>The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Twelve Labours of Hercules, Son of Jupiter & Alcmena, by Anonymous</title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + p { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; + } + hr { width: 33%; + margin-top: 2em; + margin-bottom: 2em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; + } + + hr.full { width: 100%; + margin-top: 3em; + margin-bottom: 0em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + height: 4px; + border-width: 4px 0 0 0; /* remove all borders except the top one */ + border-style: solid; + border-color: #000000; + clear: both; } + + body{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + + + + .center {text-align: center;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + + + .caption {font-weight: bold;} + + .figcenter {margin: auto; text-align: center; margin-top: 3em; margin-bottom: 3em;} + + + + .cpoem {width: 22em; margin: 0 auto;} /* centers text and maintains left justified margin + + pre {font-size: 75%;} + + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> +</head> +<body> +<h1>The Project Gutenberg eBook, The Twelve Labours of Hercules, Son of +Jupiter & Alcmena, by Anonymous</h1> +<pre> +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a> + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** +</pre> +</body> +</html> diff

One crush'd, two hissing heads arise, +Till good Iolas to each wound applies +The burning brand. Dipt in the Hydra's gall, +His arrows slightest wound is death to all. + + + + +3 + +The Maenalaean Stag. + +[Illustration] + + +A Stag with horns of gold and feet of brass, +On Maenalus bounds o'er th'unbending grass, +To Dian sacred, this he's doom'd to bring, +Unhurt into the presence of the King, +Forbid to wound, how take a Stag so fleet? +A twelvemonth's end scarce saw the task complete. + + + + +4 + +The Erymanthian Boar. + +[Illustration] + + +To Erymanthus next his course is bent, +To seize the Boar by incensed Dian sent, +The fell destroyer bound he o'er him flings, +And unto scared Eurystheus quickly brings, +The trembling Tyrant shrinks aghast with dread, +And in his brazen Vessel hides his coward head. + + + + +5 + +The Stables of Augeas. + +[Illustration] + + +To cleanse the Augean Stables now he's sped, +Where thirty years three thousand Oxen fed; +The task for man too great. A river's course +He turn'd, & thro' the stables urged its force, +The tide resistless rolls, and in one day +The gather'd filth of years is swept away. + + + + +6 + +The Stymphalides. + +[Illustration] + + +The Lake Stymphalus by his arm was freed, +From those dire birds on human flesh who feed, +By Pallas' aid the dreadful race subdued, +No more its banks with whitening bones are strew'd. +Honour'd by all mankind he now returns, +But still Eurystheus' envious hatred burns. + + + + +7 + +The Cretan Bull. + +[Illustration] + + +A furious Bull with nostrils breathing fire, +To punish Minos sent by Neptune's ire, +Roams wild in vengeance thro' his wide domains, +And death & terror spreads o'er Crete's fair plains; +But soon the bellowing beast alive he caught, +And vainly struggling to Eurystheus brought. + + + + +8 + +Diomedes and his Horses. + +[Illustration] + + +Fell Diomed, whose horses fat with gore, +His subjects bodies in their mangers tore, +He next o'erthrew. And as old authors say, +The Tyrant gave to his own steeds a prey, +On Mount Olympus rent by savage beasts, +No more the horses make on man their horrid feasts. + + + + +9 + +The Amazon Hippolite. + +[Illustration] + + +By Fate constrain'd Eurystheus to obey, +The matchless Hero now must bend his way, +To gain the golden girdle which adorns +The Queen of Amazons.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: +https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5.
