Read the following passage and answer the questions (1-2):
Hercules was the son of Jupiter and Alcmena. Eurystheus, the king of
Mycenae and his cousin, made him undergo some difficult tasks, which
are known in Greek myths as the 'twelve labours of Hercules.' The first
involved a fight with a lion. The valley of Nemea was being disturbed by a
terrible lion and so Eurystheus ordered Hercules to slay the beast and bring
him his skin. At first, Hercules tried to fight the lion with his club and
arrows but this took him nowhere. Then Hercules attempted a different
tactic: he decided he would use his hands. He thus managed to slay the
animal on his own, relying entirely on his immense strength. Victorious,
he returned to Mycenae carrying the dead lion on his shoulders, a sight
that terrified the king. His next task was to slay a mobster called Hydra
that was ravaging the country of Argos. The Hydra had nine heads, of
which the middle one was said to be immortal. Our hero struck off its
heads with his club, but whenever he knocked off a head, two new ones
erupted in its place. Eventually with the help of his devoted servant Iolaus,
Hercules succeeded in burning all the heads of the Hydra except the ninth
9 or immortal one, which he decided to bury under a huge rock. In other
words, Hercules triumphed again, as he should succeed every time he was
given an impossible task by Eurystheus! And this is how he began to
acquire the reputation of a hero possessing immense strength throughout
9 the world.
