In Greek mythology, the story of Hercules and the Ceryneian Hind is one of the Twelve Labors of Hercules. The Ceryneian Hind was a sacred deer with golden antlers and bronze hooves, dedicated to the goddess Artemis. Hercules was tasked with capturing this elusive creature without harming it, as it was protected by Artemis. Hercules pursued the hind for an entire year across various terrains, demonstrating his strength and endurance. Eventually, he managed to catch the hind while it was resting. He then brought it back to Eurystheus, who was impressed by Hercules' success in completing this challenging labor.
