The symbol of Leo, according to legend, the origin of Leo is related to Hercules. ?

Heracles is the illegitimate child of Zeus and mortals. He was born with unparalleled divine power, and Hera was jealous. When Hercules was a baby, he put two giant snakes in the cradle, hoping to kill Hercules. I didn't expect Hercules to hold them with a smile. Hercules was regarded as "the greatest hero of mankind" since he was a child.

Hera certainly won't give up killing Heracles because of one failure. She deliberately drove Heracles crazy and beat his wife. Heracles was very sad and sad when he woke up, and decided to wash away his sins through asceticism. He came to Mycenae and asked the king to send him a task. Who knows that the king got Hera's instructions, so he gave him twelve arduous tasks, which must be completed within twelve days, one of which was to kill a man-eating lion.

This lion usually lives in the forest. Hercules went to the forest to look for him, but the forest was silent. All the animals, birds, deer and squirrels were eaten by lions. When Hercules was tired of watching, he began to sleep. At this time, the man-eating lion came out of a double hole and Crixus opened his eyes. Oh, my God!

A man-eating lion is five times as big as an ordinary lion, and its body is covered with animal blood, which adds a bit of horror. Hercules shot him with an arrow first, and then hit him with a stick. It's no use. The cannibal lion was invulnerable, and finally Hercules and the lion fought hand to hand. The process was very tragic, but in the end he strangled the lion with brute force. Although the man-eating lion died, Hera threw the man-eating lion into the air and became a Leo.
