Yesterday’s trivia one more day: Why did Hercules have to undertake the 10 (12) labors? What did he do that caused him to need to do penance?

Herculean Wisdom:

“And what you show me after all those years is yet again that you cannot be trusted to treat a woman with respect, when she is easily, worthily your equal.”

Leo put his hood down. “You wouldn’t want me to yield to you without a match, would you?”

“That is not our way. Will you steal from me again?”

“I swear that that was for Eurystheus, and it was never my idea.”

“A man is no better than the ideas he carries out, regardless of who he carries them out for,” said Polly.

Remember, a man is no better than his actions.

See now, it was all a put-on. A frame up, if ya will. He offed his old lady & spawn, but it wasn't his fault. The ol' broad, Hera, had made him all crazy-like so he didn't know what he was doin' until he had done did it.

And then the Oracle said, "there is no spoon" and made him atone with the 10 labors.
