Birth is most likely best.Strangled two divinely sent serpents as a newborn baby, one in each hand.Strangled the Nemean Lion whose hide could not be peirce by arrow or blade and turned its hide into his famous armor after skinning it with its own claws.Slew 8 of the 9 heads of the Lernean Hydra and buried the final immortal one under a rock. Also note the Hydra had not just regenerating heads, but a deadly poison aura that had killed everything else for miles.Captured the Ceryneian Hind (also know as the Golden Hind), a creature so fast it could out run an arrow in flight.Captured the Erymanthian Boar. A Giant Boar that depending on the version of the story may have been the God Ares himself.Cleaned out a stable of 1000 cattle that hadn't been cleaned in 30 years by redirecting 2 major rivers.Killed a flock of maneating birds with metal beaks and metallic feathers that they could launch like darts.Captured the Cretan Bull, possible father of the Minotaur.Stole 4 man-eating mares from the demigod giant Diomedes, son of Ares.Seduced the Amazon Queen Hippolyta, daughter of Ares, for her magic girdle, a present from her father.Stole a herd of divine cattle from Geryon, a 6-armed 3-headed giant, and Orthrus, the 2-headed brother of Cerberus. Caught the Old Man of the Sea, a shapeshifting sea god.Killed the giant Antaeus, son of Gaia and Poseiden, who was unbeatable as long as he touched the ground.Held up the heavens while Titan Atlas went to get the famous golden apples from his daughters.Journied to the underworld and then captured and carried Cerberus back to the surface.Free the Titan Prometheus from his divine bondage.Beat Death in a wrestling match inorder to save the lives of his host and hostess.Challenged the Dionysus, God of Wine, to a drinking contest which he barely lost.Killed the hundred headed serpent Ladon.Beat the river god Achelous.Of note is that the Lernean Hydra, Nemian Lion, Orthrus, Ladon and Cerberus were all the spawn of Thypon, a monster Zeus and his brothers could not kill and had to trap under a mountain, and Echidna, the Mother of All Monsters.</blockquote>
