H. Hercules in slavery

Hercules had a buddy named Iphitos. They were very close - together they drank a Coke, played games of cards and walked with might and main. Together they loved nature, particularly they were fond of alpinism. They conquered many peaks in a bundle –Elbrus, Mont Blanc, the biblical Ararat, and finally reached the steep hill codenamed as Mazorakopf .We should say that the top of that was in those days in the country of cyclips- aggressive people, attained great success in literature of realism and descriptions of gods’ everyday life. The ascent was difficult. Not once, not twice heroes were on the verge of death, but insistently were climbing up. And now - they are on top. Hercules got stockpiled flag of free Greece out and put to the very top of the mountain, and then began to sing their national anthem. Iphitos sang the first two verses then paused. Hercules got angry, blinded by his hatred given to him by his evil stepmother Hera and he pushed Iphitos down from the cliff. Flying in free fall for two thousand feet, Iphitos banged his head against the rocks and died. Quickly descended Hercules, recorded the death of his friend and went to the gods as a guilty. The verdict of divine council was very severe - three years of slavery at the Queen of Lydia, ugly Omphale.
After her parents' death twenty-five years old Omphale had to rule the state. It's true that she was an outstanding ruler. Cause it's always so- if a girl is beautiful, she isn’t so clever, if she is clever, she isn’t very beautiful. It was the same in this case. Armed forces of the state were considered the best in the region. The state's finances were in perfect order, balance, morons and idiots were always observed and The Chief Accountant of the Treasury won the award of The European Union as the best financier in Europe. The state's foreign exchange reserves were composed of two kilograms of aluminum, terribly scarce metal, which is produced only in the country super hyperboreans in the Northern Peninsula of the planet, and its population idolized their ruler. People lived in prosperity and abundance, and each family had their own house with a fireplace, its carriage with four horses and a few slaves. Omphale herself had more than thousand slaves, who she kept in a very strong way. It was enough for a woman slave to be guilty, she woul be deprived of meat for a week , and if it was a man slave, for three days. Omphale herself met Hercules with joy.
- First, change your clothes. Give me the lion's skin, it will suit me. Here's a skirt and blouse for you. Ha ha-ha. Look at this hero in a skirt. Hey, overseer, take him to the garment factory and force him to weave women's clothing equal to other weavers.
So began the three years of torments. For what did the queen dislike him- she could hardly answer herself. Most likely she did it simply - there are harmful people, who just like torturing cats. Omphale came for several times a day with a stick in his hand, and if she thought that Hercules may not work hardly (almost always he did so) or if she had a bad mood, the twig immediately would find the greatest hero's back.
Only once Hercules was lucky. Ugly Omphale fell madly in love with Hylas, a beautiful young man from the island Gomos, the cousin of Narcissus. But most ideal for Hylas was Hercules, the greatest hero of all time and of all nations. Once Hylas went to fetch water, and the poor man river nymph saw him, who was hidden behind a snag. The nymph instantly fell in love with the beautiful young man, and improving the right moment, dragged him under the water. Places were uninhabited, the nymph was young and inexperienced and had no idea that people couldn't live under water, that's why a few minutes later the poor Hylas was drown. Hercules got mad at what the silly nymph did and decided to catch her and began to weave a strong net. The nymph guessed that Hercules came up with something not good and appealed to his patron - Poseidon, the latter to his brother. In brief, the deal took place amicably. Hercules renounced the vengeance and Zeus knocked off his term of slavery at Omphale. Nevertheless, the hero didn’t want to leave his favorite skin at the Queen and went to Lydia to get it. Omphale first didn’t want to give it,  however, had the hero threatened to burn her clothing factory. However, the year of slavery was not in vain. Hercules learned excellent spinning, although later it wasn’t useful.
