Page "Eurystheus" Paragraph 10

For his seventh labour Heracles captured the Cretan Bull.

Heracles used a lasso and rode it back to his cousin.

Eurystheus wanted to sacrifice the bull to Hera his patron, who hated Heracles.

She refused the sacrifice because it reflected glory on Heracles.

The bull was released and wandered to Marathon, becoming known as the Marathonian Bull.
