Herc-o-meter: El Torro Wrestling Match

[cathschaffstump]

Less headachy, but still sore. But I is discipline writer! My word count, let me show you it!

Some of you came up with some pretty wild guesses yesterday, but Mochi Monkey is correct that Prometheus was the other titan that Hercules encountered on the way. She added that he drove off a liver-eating eagle and freed him. That is correct.

Today’s trivia: Hercules met two other people on the way to Atlas as well. Can you name them? This is a REALLY hard question.

And Herculean wisdom:

“Leo,” said George. “Can you show me how to do that pile driver?”
“You don’t want to do that at home, okay, George.”
Tony felt superior to George. “Because wrestling isn’t a game. It’s a profession.”

Don’t try wrestling moves at home, kids!

See you tomorrow!

Ok, there was the shape-shifting dude, Nereus (?) from whom Hercules had to find out where them apples were. Then there was the the dude he had to wrestle and won by holding him about his head since the dude got his strength from touching the earth. Antares? Antaeus? Ok, I know it wasn't Achilles. I know his name began with an "A".

These questions are kinda fun - it's bringing back my interest in classical mythology! I'm going to have to dig out my old books from storage and re-read them! :D

Your first guesses are correct with both names!
