For the fifth labor, Eurystheus ordered Hercules to clean up King
Augeas' stables. Hercules knew this job would mean getting dirty and smelly, but
sometimes even a hero has to do these things. Then Eurystheus made Hercules' task
even harder: he had to clean up after the cattle of Augeas in a single day.

Every night the cowherds, goatherds and shepherds drove the thousands
of animals to the stables. Every night the cowherds, goatherds and shepherds drove

Hercules went to King Augeas, and without telling anything about Eurystheus,
said that he would clean out the stables in one day, if Augeas would give him
a tenth of his fine cattle. Augeas couldn't believe his ears, but promised. Hercules
brought Augeas's son along to watch. First the hero tore a big opening in the
wall of the cattle-yard where the stables were. Then he made another opening in
the wall on the opposite side of the yard.
Next, he dug wide trenches to two rivers which flowed nearby. He turned the course
of the rivers into the yard. The rivers rushed through the stables, flushing them
out, and all the mess flowed out the hole in the wall on other side of the yard.
When Augeas learned that Eurystheus was behind all this, he
would not pay Hercules his reward. Not only that, he denied that he had even promised
to pay a reward. Augeas said that if Hercules didn't like it, he could take the
matter to a judge to decide.
The judge took his seat. Hercules called the son of Augeas to testify. The
boy swore that his father had agreed to give Hercules a reward. The judge ruled
that Hercules would have to be paid. In a rage, Augeas ordered both his own son
and Hercules to leave his kingdom at once. So the boy went to the north country
to live with his aunts, and Hercules headed back to Mycenae. But Eurystheus said
that this labour didn't count, because Hercules was paid for having done the work.

Ο Αυγείας είχε τόσα πολλά κοπάδια που από την κοπριά έμενε ακαλλιέργητο μεγάλο μέρος της χώρας. Ζήτησε λοιπόν από τον Ηρακλή να καθαρίσει τους στάβλους και του υποσχέθηκε μάλιστα ένα μέρος του βασιλείου και το ένα δέκατο των κοπαδιών αν τα κατάφερνε σε μια μέρα Ο Ηρακλής έστρεψε το ρεύμα του ποταμού Μηνίου προς τους στάβλους και κατόρθωσε έτσι να τους καθαρίσει σε μια μέρα. Ο Αυγείας, όμως, ο οποίος του είχε τάξει την αμοιβή πιστεύοντας ότι δεν υπήρχε περίπτωση να τα καταφέρει αρνήθηκε να του τη δώσει υποστηρίζοντας ότι οι στάβλοι είχαν καθαριστεί όχι χάρη στη δύναμη του Ηρακλή αλλά χάρη στην εξυπνάδα του (Παυσ. 5,1,9-10). Σύμφωνα με τον Απολλόδωρο ο Ηρακλής είχε αποκρύψει από τον Αυγεία ότι το καθάρισμα των στάβλων του ήταν γι' αυτόν εντολή του Ευρυσθέα και για τον καθαρισμό ένωσε τα νερά των ποταμών Αλφειού και Πηνειού (Εκδ. Αθηνών, Παυσανίου Περιήγησις, τόμος 3, σελ. 197, σημ. 6).
Heracles. 5. The stables of Augeas. Eurystheus imposed upon Heracles the task of cleaning the stables of Augeas in one day. Augeas was king of Elis, and extremely rich in cattle. Heracles, without mentioning the command of Eurystheus, went to Augeas, offering in one day to clean his stables, if he would give him the tenth part of the cattle for his trouble, or, according to Pausanias (v. i.7) a part of his territory. Augeas, believing that Heracles could not possibly accomplish what he promised, agreed, and Heracles took Phyleus, the son of Augeas, as his witness, and then led the rivers Alpheius and Peneius through the stables, which were thus cleaned in the time fixed upon. But Augeas, who learned that Heracles had undertaken the work by the command of Eurystheus, refused the reward, denied his promise, and declared that he would have the matter decided by a judicial verdict. Phyleus then bore witness against his father, who exiled him from Elis. Eurystheus declared the work thus performed to be unlawful, because Heracles had stipulated with Augeas a payment for it. (Apollod. ii. 5.5; Theocrit. xxv. 88, &c.; Ptolem. Heph. 5; Athen. x.; Schol. ad Pind. Ol. xi. 42.) At a subsequent time Hferacles, to revenge the faithlessness of Augeas, marched with an army of Argives and Tirynthians against Augeas, but in a narrow defile in Elis he was taken by surprise by Cteatus and Eurytus, and lost a great number of his warriors. But afterwards Heracles slew Cteatus and Eurytus, invaded Elis, and killed Augeas and his sons. After this victory, Heracles marked out the sacred ground on which the Olympian games were to be celebrated, built altars, and instituted the Olympian festival and games. (Apollod. ii. 7.2; Paus. v. 1.7. 3.1, &c., 4.1; viii. 15.2; Pind. Ol. xi. 25, &c., comp. v. 5, iii. 13, &c.)
