AUGEAS, or AUGEIAS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 900 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AUGEAS, or AUGEIAS , in
Greek
  legend, a son of Helios, the sun-god, and king of the Epeians in
Elis
 . He possessed an immense wealth of herds, including twelve bulls sacred to Helios, and
white
  as swans. Eurystheus imposed upon Heracles the task of clearing out all his stalls unaided in one day. This he did by turning the rivers
Alpheus
  and Peneus through them.
Augeas
  had promised him a tenth of the
herd
 , but refused this, alleging that Heracles had acted only in the service of Eurystheus. Heracles thereupon sent an army against him, and, though at first defeated, finally slew
Augeas
  and his sons.
Apollodorus ii. 5, 7;
Pindar
 , Olympia, xi, 24; Diodorus iv. 13; Theocritus, Idyll 25.
