Eighth Labour : Hercules and the Mares of Diomedes

In the realm of myth and legend, no tale is as fierce as the clash between Hercules, the demigod of strength, and the terrifying Mares of Diomedes-beasts born of savagery and insatiable hunger.
Diomedes, the Thracian king, was no ordinary ruler. His prized mares were infamous, not for their speed or beauty, but for their appetite. These were no mere horses. They were monsters, fed on human flesh to fuel their unrelenting fury.
After Hercules had captured the Cretan Bull, Eurystheus sent him to get the man-eating mares of Diomedes, the king of a Thracian tribe called the Bistones, and bring them back to him in Mycenae.
When King Eurystheus commanded Hercules to capture the mares, it was no simple task. This was his eighth labor, a test of both brawn and wits.
Victorious, Hercules returned to King Eurystheus, proving once again that no challenge-be it man or monster-could break him. The eighth labor was complete, etching his legend deeper into the annals of time.
Again, Eurystheus did not want the terrible creatures in his city. Eurystheus ordered the horses taken to Olympus to be sacrificed to Zeus, but Zeus refused them, and sent wolves, lions, and bears to kill them. After the incident, Eurystheus sent Hercules to bring back Hippolyta's Girdle.
