Hercules and the Serpents

Iphicles, the brother of Hercules, shouted in a loud voice; but Hercules himself, the strongest boy, not at all was frightened. With small hands, he seized the snakes immediately, and squeezed their necks with great force. In such a way, the snakes were killed by the boy.

Hercules and the Serpents (cont.)

Now, Alcmena, the mother of the boys, had heard the shouting, and had awoken her husband from sleep. That man lit a light and snatched his own sword; then he was hurrying to the boys, but when he came to the place, he saw an amazing thing, For Hercules was laughing and showing the dead snakes.
