Current Goal

Like Hercules, while completing the twelve labors, I would like to travel around the world and experience as many different things as possible.

About This Item

The fourth Labor took Heracles back to Arcadia in quest of an enormous boar, which he was challenged to bring back alive. While tracking it down he stopped to visit the centaur Pholus. This creature -- half-horse, half-man -- was examining one of the hero's arrows when he accidentally dropped it on his foot. Because it had been soaked in poisonous Hydra venom, Pholus succumbed immediately. Hercules finally located the boar on Mount Erymanthus and managed to drive it into a snowbank, immobilizing it. Flinging it up onto his shoulder, he carried it back to Eurystheus, who cowered as usual in his storage jar.

This TB is a pig that symbolizes the wild boar that Hercules brought back to Eurystheus.

    Ah! Let's see what we can do for this one ...

    OK - I tried hard to put Hercules in a cache box somewhere. We had been in Coburg, in Neumarkt ... there was absolutely no cache box which was able to take this big pig-bug. Hard to believe, but unfortunately true. So, I think it would be the best to put Hercules in this rather comfortable box ...
