Death of Heracles
This is described in Ovid's Metamorphoses
Book IX. Having wrestled and defeated
Achelous, god of the Acheloos river, Heracles
takes Deianeira as his wife. Travelling to
Tiryns, a centaur, Nessus, offers to help
Deianeira across a fast flowing river while
Heracles swims it. However, Nessus is true to
the archetype of the mischievous centaur and
tries to steal Deianara away while Heracles
is still in the water. Angry, Heracles shoots
him with his arrows dipped in the poisonous
blood of the Lernaean Hydra. Thinking of
revenge, Nessus gives Deianara his
blood-soaked tunic before he dies, telling
her it will "excite the love of her husband".
Several years later, Rumour tells Deianeira
that she has a rival for the love of
Heracles. Deianeira, remembering Nessus'
words, gives Heracles the blood-stained
shirt. Lichas, the herald, delivers the shirt
to Heracles. However, it is still covered in
the Hydra's blood from Heracles' arrows, and
this poisons him, tearing his skin and
exposing his bones. Before he dies, Heracles
throws Lichas into the sea, thinking he was
the one who poisoned him (according to
several versions, Lichas turns to stone,
becoming a rock standing in the sea, named
for him). Heracles then uproots several trees
and builds a funeral pyre, which Poeas,
father of Philoctetes, lights. As his body
burns, only his immortal side is left, and
Zeus apotheosises him, raising him to Olympus
as he dies.
No one but Heracles' friend Philoctetes (in
some versions: Poeas) would light his funeral
pyre (in an alternate versions it is Iolaus
who lights the pyre). For this action,
Philoctetes (or Poeas) received Heracles' bow
and arrows, which were later needed by the
Greeks to defeat Troy in the Trojan War.
Philoctetes confronted Paris and shot a
poisoned arrow at him. The Hydra poison would
subsequently lead to the death of Paris. The
Trojan War, however, would continue until the
Trojan Horse was used to defeat Troy.
