Pub Trivia - AKA things that may be beyond the scope of Moorey’s knowledge

Yep. It’s known as the 12 labours of hercules.

Minotaur is close, it was in Crete, and belonged to King Minos........

Medusa’s not one of them

He had to be smart and strong.

Minos’s beast breathed fire and is insane, if that helps jog the memory at all.

He won the Wentworth by election as an independent after the Libs held it for 117 years?

 

[Ultra Lord]

Herculean feat maybe, but not quite what we’re after.

Anothe clue...... horses. He did something to horses in one day

There we go! He cleaned stables by diverting two rivers to run through them. The ultimate gurney.

My mate used to have a dog called Hercules - he got heaps of shit done.
Diggin' holes, rooting gumboots, barking at cats, pissing on trees, layin' stinky brown cable, hanging out with the fellas....

 

[Ultra Lord]

Yep, golden apples of Hesperides.

He captured the cretan bull is what I was getting at, king minos and whatnot.

AND he killed the Nemean Lion. That was the other hint

All yours @Zaf

Edit: I only knew of those four off the top of my head, I had to look up apples and cerberus too many good myth’s, not enough brain to remember it all.

Well, I'm loving the Mythology stuff, but I might switch it up so it's not just you and I playing Trivia tag.

How many hours did Operation Desert Sabre last, and what is the resultant common name for the US Air/Land invasion of Iraq in Feb 1991? ​

See dessert storm...where they rained cake after cake on the starving Iraqi citizens?

Was something quick...72 hours?
