The mountain valley of Nemea, between Cleonae and Phlius, was inhabited by a lion, the offspring of Typhon and Echidna. The myth informs us its fur was impenetrable for human weapons. The first labor ordered by the king Euritenus to Heracles was to slay the Nemean Lion. The fur of this lion was impervious to the attacks of human weapons; thereby Heracles’ bow and club were completely useless against the wild beast. Heracles, after having in vain used his club and arrows against the lion he strangled the animal with his own hands. According to Theocritus the contest take place in the open air, and Heracles is said to have lost a finger in the struggle. When the fight was over, Heracles skinned the killed lion, and since the accomplishment of his first labor, the lion fur have been dressed by Heracles as work clothes for the future labors.
