HERCULES
Hercules was a
strong and brave man. He lived in
Greece. The King was jealous of
Hercules. People might make Hercules
the King.
Therefore he wanted to get rid of Hercules. He set difficult tasks for Hercules
to keep him away from the country so that he would not be a possible threat to
him (the King).
The King : Hercules, you should get me three golden apples!
Hercules :
For what? Should I do it?
The King :
Of course! You must do it! I just want to eat an apple.
Hercules :
Okay I will do it. But where I can get the golden apples?
The King :
The trees of golden apple are in Hesperides.
Hercules :
What is Hesperides? Where is it?
The
King : Hesperides is an island. It
is far from here. Just search it and you will
find it.
Hercules :
Okay.
Hercules set out on the journey. At first he met a maiden during the journey. Hercules asked them the way to Hesperides.
Hercules : Excuse me, I’m Hercules. Please tell me the way to
Hesperides.
Maiden : I
don’t know. Just ask the old man of the sea, he know the way. But
you must hold the old man of the sea tightly. Otherwise he will
esape. No one else knows the way.
Hercules : Okay Thanks.
Hercules leaved
the maiden. Hercules saw the old man. He was sleeping on the shore. He was looking strange. He had long hair and a beard. Hercules walked
to him without making any noise. Then he seized him very firmly.
The old
man of the sea opened his eyes. He was surprised. He changed himself into a
stag. He tried to free himself from the grip of Hercules. But Hercules held him tight. Then the old
man changed himself into a sea-bird and then to other animal forms. But he
could not free himself from the clutches of Hercules, because Hercules was
making his clutches tighter and tighter.
The Old Man: Who are you? What do you
want from me?
Hercules : I am Hercules. Tell me the way to Hesperides!
The Old Man: It is an island. Go
along the sea-shore. You will meet a giant. He will
show you the way to Hesperides.
Hercules : Oh no, it makes me dizzy! But well thanks for your
information.
The Old Man: Your welcome.
Hercules continued his journey. He met the giant. The giant was very huge and strong. He was sleeping on the shore. Hercules woke him up. The giant was angry. He struck Hercules with a club. Hercules charged at the giant. He lifted the giant and threw him down. But the giant got up immediately. He had become ten times stronger. Hercules threw him down again and again. But each time the giant rose up much stronger. Then Hercules lifted the giant high up in the air. But he did not throw him down. The giant slowly lost all his strength. He now pleaded with Hercules to put him down on the earth.

Hercules : Are you give up now?
The Giant : Yes I am give up. I am sorry for all.
Hercules : That’s okay. Now, tell me the way to
Hesperides!
The Giant : Just ask Atlas and you will there.
Hercules : Where is Atlas now?
The Giant : Just cross the island and you will find
him.
Hercules : Okay I will go there.
Hercules continued his journey. He, at last, met Atlas.
Hercules : Are you Atlas?
Atlas : Yes I am.
Helrcules : Give me the golden apples!
Atlas : Why do you want the golden
apples?
Hercules : My King has ordered me to get him
these three golden apples.
Atlas : It is a long way from
here to that place. Only I can go there. Hold
this sky for me.
I shall get them for you.
Hercules : Okay.
Hercules agreed. He held the sky on his shoulders. Atlas walked away. He was back in a short time. He put down the three golden apples at the foot of Hercules. Hercules thanked Atlas. He requested Atlas to take back the sky from him.
Atlas : Take back the sky! *cunningly* I have held it for a thousand years. I
shall come back
after another thousand years!
Hercules : *astonished* Oh! In that case, will you please hold the sky for a
little while? I shall make a pad for my shoulders
to support the sky.
Then I shall take back the sky from you.
Atlas
agreed. Atlas took back the sky from Hercules. Hercules immediately collected
the three golden apples. He bid Atlas goodbye with a mischievous smile on his
face. Then he walked away towards Greece leaving Atlas speechless and
surprised. Hercules reached his homeland
Greece after many days of travel. He gave the three golden apples to the King.
Hercules : This is the three golden apples that
you order.
The King : Oh my God! You can do it? I can’t
believe it.
Hercules : Believe it! I am Hercules. I am strong
and brave man.
The king
was amazed to Hercules. But the king pretended not to have been satisfied. But
he secretly, he was planning to send away Hercules away on another perilous
adventure.
