The ninth task is to conquer the Amazons. Eurystheus has a daughter named Artemeta. Eurystheus ordered Hercules to go to the Amazon queen Hippolyta, take her belt, and then give it to Artemeta. The Amazons live on both sides of the Thermodon River in Pontus. This is a huge nation of women.

The tenth task is to bring back a group of strong items of the giant Geryon. Geryon was grazing a group of brown and red cattle on the island of Erytia in the Gulf of Gadira, where a giant and a two-headed hound were guarding.

The eleventh task is to pick the golden apples of the Hesperides. The golden apple tree was given by Gaia, the mother of the earth, when Zeus married Hera. Four young girls guarded this sacred garden. They were the daughters of the night, named Hesperides.

The twelfth item is Cerberus, the guard dog of the underworld brought back from Hades. This dog has three heads and an ugly mouth, which drips with poisonous saliva.
