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 ,
After
he
arrived
in
Nemea
and
having
searched
for
the
lion
he
first
shot
it
with
a
bow
;
when
he
learned
that
the
lion
was
invulnerable
,
having
raised
the
club
he
pursued
it
.
When
it
fled
into
the
double-mouthed
cave
he
blocked
off
the
one
entrance
,
but
went
after
the
beast
through
the
other
one
,
and
having
placed
the
hand
around
the
throat
he
held
on
pressing
until
he
strangled
it
,
and
throwing
it
on
the
shoulders
he
was
taking
it
to
Cleonae
.
But
he
found
Molorchus
on
the
last
day
when
he
was
about
to
sacrifice
to
the
dead
,
