Current Goal

To complete the 12 Labours of Heracles starting with Nemea, Greece. 

According to wiki, the first is to slay the Nemean Lion that was terrorising the Greek village of Nemea. Since I don't agree with killing lions, a visit to Nemea is perfectly fine. There is a cache there so your own labours will not be in vain (Ancient Nemea/Αρχαία Νεμέα GC6NWE2 N 37° 48.448 E 022° 42.648).

Sorry this is just a proxy but too many geocoins get stolen these days.

About This Item

Greek Gods Geocoin - Heracles (Proxy)

A laminated copy of the Geocoin attached to a black home made travel tag and a green monster. 
 

Heracles, the half-human son of Zeus who must overcome the 12 Feats set forth by his step-mother in a jealous rage over his father's infidelity with a human.   On the face side we have our hero surrounded by the head(s) of the hydra in the most historically portrayed of all his challenges and on the reverse side the full 12 challenges he will overcome before being tragically burned alive by his second wife (which luckily transforms him into a full Olympian god in the end). His personal symbol, the knot of strength, is centered and bracketed about by the symbol of his father Zeus, portraying his immortality on the left and his olive branch club (his usual weapon) to the right.
