LYCOS RETRIEVER
Heracles: Mortals
built 629 days ago
Heracles shot and killed the eagle that had been torturing Prometheus who suffered Zeus' punishment for stealing fire from Olympians and giving it along with other knowhow to mortals. Heracles freed the titan from his chains and his torments. Prometheus then made predictions regarding further deeds of Heracles.

After all this, Heracles 1 sided with the OLYMPIANS during the revolt of the GIANTS. His participation in this war was necessary, because the GIANTS could not be killed only by the immortals. A mortal was needed.

Heracles killed Alcyoneus by shooting the giant with his lethal arrow, before dragging its body outside of Pallene, where the giant was mortal. Apollo and Heracles each shot one eye of Ephialtes, with their arrows.
