εἰς δὲ τὴν Νεμέαν ἀφικόμενος καὶ τὸν λέοντα μαστεύσας ἐτόξευσε τὸ πρῶτον · ὡς δὲ ἔμαθεν ἄτρωτον ὄντα , ἀνατεινάμενος τὸ ῥόπαλον ἐδίωκε . συμφυγόντος δὲ εἰς ἀμφίστομον σπήλαιον αὐτοῦ τὴν ἑτέραν ἐνῳκοδόμησεν εἴσοδον , διὰ δὲ τῆς ἑτέρας ἐπεισῆλθε τῷ θηρίῳ , καὶ περιθεὶς τὴν χεῖρα τῷ τραχήλῳ κατέσχεν ἄγχων ἕως ἔπνιξε , καὶ θέμενος ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων ἐκόμιζεν εἰς Κλεωνάς . καταλαβὼν δὲ τὸν Μόλορχον ἐν τῇ τελευταίᾳ τῶν ἡμερῶν ὡς νεκρῷ μέλλοντα τὸ ἱερεῖον ἐναγίζειν , σωτῆρι θύσας Διὶ ἦγεν εἰς Μυκήνας τὸν λέοντα .
And
having
come
to
Nemea
and
searched
for
the
lion
,
he
first
shot
at
him
with
the
bow
,
but
when
he
learned
that
the
lion
was
unwoundable
,
he
held
up
his
club
and
pursued
him
.
And
when
he
fled
into
a
cave
with
two
mouths
,
Heracles
built
up
the
one
entrance
and
came
in
after
the
beast
through
the
other
,
and
placing
his
hand
around
its
throat
held
fast
,
pressing
until
he
had
strangled
it
;
and
setting
it
on
his
shoulders
he
took
it
to
Cleonae
.
And
finding
Molorchus
on
the
last
of
the
days
about
to
sacrifice
the
victim
to
him
as
a
dead
man
,
he
sacrificed
to
the
Savior
Zeus
and
brought
the
lion
into
Mycenae
.
