-"My next perplexity was to draw the shaggy hide from the dead
+"My next perplexity was to draw the shaggy hide from the dead beast's limbs: a very taxing labour, for to attempt it I had neither knife of iron nor stone nor other means. Then a god put into my head to slit the lion's skin with the lion's own claws; with these I soon had it off and wrapped it around my frame to serve as a shield against the cut and thrust of the battle-rout. And there, my friend, you have that tale of the fate that befell the lion of Nemea, that was once the cause of many a sorrow to flocks and to men."

 The son of Typhon is based on the Nemean lion, a creature in classical Greek folklore that is one of the many offspring of [[wikipedia:Typhon|Typhon]] and [[wikipedia:Echidna|Echidna]] according to Apollodorus. Some sources and tellings give a different origin for the beast: Hesiod describes the Nemean lion as the offspring of Orthus and an ambiguous "she" (often understood as possibly referring to the Chimera, Echidna or even Ceto), sent by Hera to terrorize the hills of Nemea; the tradition held by Aelian, Epimenides and Hyginus states that the lion was "sprung from" the moon-goddess Selene, who threw him from the Moon at Hera's request. Its golden fur was impervious to attack, it could not be killed with mortal weapons, and its claws were sharper than swords and could cut through any strong armour.
-[[wikipedia:Heracles|Heracles]] (or Hercules) was tasked with slaying the Nemean lion as the first of his many Labors set by his cousin King Eurystheus. Heracles was tasked with searching for the Nemean lion, and found that it was invulnerable to his arrows; he instead opted to chase the lion back to its cave, where he had blocked one of the entrances and snuck in through the other. Upon meeting the Nemean lion in close quarters, Heracles stunned it with his club and strangled it to death&mdash;he then made a pelt out of its hide, using one of the lion's claws per Athena's advice, and wore it for the rest of his days.
