Episode 8: The Mares Heracles had an enemy on Olympus. His mission was clear. Complete his labours and kill Hera. He headed to steal the Mares of Diomedes, four carnivorous fire-breathing horses that were said to be untameable. Heracles snuck into the city of Thrace in the dead of night and found the mares. The legends were true; each horse was as violent and as vicious as the other, making enough noise to awake the entire city and its militia. Heracles was cornered by King Diomedes who threatened to kill him in Hera's name. Their feud had become legend across Greece. Heracles struggled to fight off the militia while keeping the horses from escaping. As Diomedes approached Heracles, ready for the kill, Heracles grabbed the king by his foot and threw him towards his own mares. The horses ate the king within seconds. As the people of Thrace watched the carnage, Heracles shackled the horses' mouths shut as they ate their king. Heracles told the people of Thrace that he would kill anyone and anything to avenge his family. Heracles was feared more than ever before
