<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In [[Greek mythology]], the &#039;&#039;&#039;Stymphalian Birds&#039;&#039;&#039; were birds with claws of brass and sharp metallic feathers they could launch at their victims, and also they were Ares&#039; pets. Furthermore, their dung was highly toxic. They had migrated to [[Lake Stymphalus]] in [[Arcadia]] to escape a pack of wolves, and bred quickly and took over the countryside, destroying local crops and fruit trees. Ridding the land of these birds was one of [[Heracles]]&#039; [[The Twelve Labours|Twelve Labors]], and some sources claim the Stymphalian birds were the same avians that attacked the [[Argonauts]].<br /> <br /> The forest around Lake Stymphalus was very dense, making it so dark as to impair vision. [[Athena]] and [[Hephaestus]] aided Heracles by forging for him huge bronze clappers, which scared the birds into flight. Heracles shot them down with his arrows, or according to other versions, a catapult. The birds that survived never returned to [[Greece]].<br /> <br /> {{Credit wikipedia}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Legendary birds]]<br /> [[Category:Twelve labours of Herakles]]</div>
