Excerpt from book: CHAPTER VIII THE SIXTH LABOR?THE BIRDS OF STYM- PHALOS On the northern limit of Arcadia is a huge cliff, over which pours a black ribbon of water. At the bottom of the cliff it is lost among piles of rocks. The water itself is not black, but it appears so because the rock is covered with black moss, and so the stream is called the Styx or Black Water.

They bore a striking resemblance to the Harpies, and were the terror of all the people who lived near Stymphalos. Eurystheus ordered Herakles to drive the birds away. So Herakles took his bow and quiver and went to the lake. But the forests were so dense that he could not see the birds, and he sat down to think of the best way to drive them out. Suddenly the goddess of wisdom came to him to help him. The goddess gave him a huge rattle and told him how to use it. ...
