Myths featuring The Erymanthian Boar

As his fourth labor, the hero Heracles was tasked by King Eurystheus to capture a monstrous, rampaging boar alive from the slopes of Mount Erymanthos. Heracles successfully drove the beast into deep snow to exhaust it before binding it and carrying it back to the city of Tiryns. The sight of the creature was so terrifying that Eurystheus famously hid inside a bronze storage jar to escape it.
