The Nemean Lion
After coming to Nemea and tracking the lion, Hercules tried shooting him with an arrow.
When he realized the skin was impenetrable, he took his club and chased him.
The lion hid in a cave with two openings, and Hercules blocked one off and entered through the other.
When he caught the beast, he tightened his arms around its neck until he had strangled it.
