The Shit is Now Real for MAGAtown

22. The 5th labour

He said he'd clean up all the dung in the stables of King Augeus in a day, and accomplished it by piling all the filth to one part of the barn. He dug a giant hole on one side of the barn, knocked out some walls (I guess it didn't have doors on opposite walls for air flow), built trenches to the barn on one side and between barn and hole on the other. Then he diverted the river to the trench going toward it.

Water washed out all the dung into the hole. He did have the help of one of the princes. Forget his name now.

The king tried to renege on the deal he made with Hercules for the job (1/10 of his cattle herd as payment). Hercules took him to court and won, thanks to the prince testifying that the deal did exist. The King banished them and I don't think Hercules ever got the cattle. But it's been a while since that Classical antiquities course. I'm sure I've forgotten or misremembered plenty of the entire tale.
