Lot of 5 - 1 oz Hercules Fourth Labor - Erymanthian Boar Silver Round Actual Weight: 1 Troy Oz Condition: New Fineness: 0.999 Diameter: 39 mmBullion Exchanges is pleased to offer the Erymanthian Boar Silver Round, the fourth release in the 12 Labors of Hercules Series. Each Erymanthian round is composed of 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver.To accomplish his fourth labor, Hercules was to track down, capture and then take back to Eurystheus the great boar, which roamed the high forest region of Mount Erymanthus in Arcadia. To make the task harder for Hercules Eurystheus insisted the boar be alive when it was presented to him. Undaunted by his request, Hercules set our to capture the boar.While making his way to Mount Erymanthus Hercules decided to visit his friend Pholus, to rest before continuing his arduous journey.Pholus was a Centaur, he was both kind and hospitable to Hercules offering him food and shelter. As Centaurs eat their meat raw Pholus cooked the share set aside for Hercules which the hero appreciated, but on asking Pholus for wine with his meal, he replied telling Hercules he kept only one jar, which happened to be a gift from Dionysus, and was common property of all the Centaurs who lived on the mountain.Hercules persuaded Pholus to open the jar, which he did reluctantly, as soon as the seal was broken the heavy aroma drifted down the forest. The other Centaurs caught the heavy scent from the wine, and they all came to see who had violated their precious gift. As they approached they armed themselves, then attached Hercules in an angry frenzy.Protecting himself from the Centaurs Hercules released a volley of arrows, which drove the Centaurs into the cave of Chiron, his old teacher. Unfortunately a stray arrow hit Chiron killing him as the arrows were dipped in the poisonous blood of the Hydra. Pholus also had the same fate, when one of the poisonous arrows fell from his hand penetrating his foot. Hercules was helpless, and consumed with remorse over the death of his friends.Hercules went on to complete his task, seeking out the great boar, driving it from the forest up to the snow covered peaks, chasing the beast until it weakened. When the boar fell into a large snow drift Hercules pounced on the bear, tightly binding his feet. He then threw the boar over his shoulder and carried it back to Eurystheus.On seeing the monstrous boar Eurystheus threw himself head first into a large jar, trembling with fear he begged Hercules to take great beast away, Hercules obliged.Round Specifications:Contain 1 troy oz of .999 fine Silver.
