Nemean Lion—Spencer Arias. Inspired
by Greek mythology, specifically the first
of Hercules twelve labors. There are many
versions of this myth, but the too-long-
didn't-read version says that the lion was
sent to Nemea, in modern-day Corinthia,
to terrorize the city. In one version of the
myth, the lion was sent to lure heroes to
their doom by using women as bait who
would then turn into a lion when the hero
would arrive at the lion's den. The lion was
impervious to arrows due to its golden fur,
but Hercules was eventually triumphant
and was able to defeat the lion with his bare
hands. This would be the first of 12 trials
that Hercules would complete on his path
to becoming immortal.
