Text - Labors of Hercules

This is based on the Loeb edition of the Library of Apollodorus. Apollodorus, a 2nd Century B.C. Greek scholar, wrote a Chronicles and On the Gods. It is thought that the Library (Bibliotheca) was written by someone a few centuries later, but the work is still referred to as the Library of Apollodorus or Pseudo-Apollodorus.
