  • The Nemean lion (In Greek: Λέων τῆς Νεμέας (Léōn tēs Neméas); Latin: Leo Nemaeus) was a monster in Greek mythology that resided at Nemea. It is said that the Nemean Lion could not be killed with mortal weapons because of its golden fur which gave him imperviousness to attacks. The creature's claws were sharper than conventional swords and could cut through any armor. It was said to have had great cunning, further emphasized by it's capacity to shapeshift into the women in distress that it kidnapped from other cities, tricking would-be slayers to lower their guard in its lair before devouring them and later offer their bones to Hades. The Nemean Lion is usually considered to have been the offspring of Typhon and Echidna; other origins states that the lion fell from the moon as the offspring of Zeus and Selene, or that he was born of the Chimera. The Nemean lion was sent to Nemea in the Peloponnesus to terrorize the city. It was ultimately slain by Heracles (Hercules) as part of the first labour, which earned him the Nemean Lion's hide.

Since the Nemean Lion's skin was impenetrable, Heracles chased it from its lair, bashed it with his club, and strangled it to death. He then skinned it with its own claw and used the skin as an impenetrable coat of armor that protected him in his later labors. The name Nemean Lion refers to the city, Nemea, near which the beast had its lair.
