His subjects are occasionally fed to his carnivorous horses. Alcestis agreed to died instead of her husband but heracles rescued her from hades. Originally, a war myth against strange unnatural women. Now she falls in love with heracles. Heracles passes by on his way back to greece. Hersione, a trojan princess and the ketos (the monster) Heracles agreed to rescue her after her father pays him. Laomedon, hersion(cid:529)s father, had refused to pay them because zeus made them build it as punishment. Once again laomedon reneges on his agreement.
