Hercules has arrived!

Welcome to D Wings World all my Steemian brothers and sisters! Today I wanted to show off an awesome win from Hive account@sbsparts during a giveaway he had on YouTube! I was one of the lucky individuals picked and he sent me a surprise round as well of a lot of foreign currency. I wanted to highlight the amazing round he sent me because I love mythology and this round blew me away. It is the final release in the 12 Labors of Hercules series. This series was made up of .999 fine silver 1 oz rounds depicting each of the 12 labors of Hercules.

The most perilous labor of all was the twelfth and final one. Eurstheus ordered Hercules to go to the underworld and kidnap the three-headed beast called Cerberus. Eurytheus must have been certain Hercules would never succeed at this insurmountable task!>

The underworld was the kingdom of Hades and his wife Persephone. Cerberus was a vicious beast that guarded the entrance of the underworld and kept the living from entering the world of the dead. Hercules need to take in the ways of the underworld to escape with his life.>

Hercules made his way down to the underworld where he encountered Hades and asked him for Cerberus. The lord of the underworld agreed, but only if he overpowered the beast with nothing but his own brute force.>

A weaponless Hercules set out to locate Cerberus, and after finding Cerberus, he threw his strong arm around the beast grasping all three heads at once. He succeeded at capturing Cerberus, but after throwing the three-headed beast over his shoulders and bringing him back, Eurytheus demanded Hercules return him to the underworld.> Quoted from https://bullionexchanges.com/1-oz-hercules-twelfth-labor-cerberus-silver-round
