The Labours
In his labours, Heracles was often accompanied by a male companion (an eromenos), according to some Licymnius, or by others Iolaus, his nephew. Although he was only supposed to perform ten labours, this assistance led to him suffering two more. Eurystheus didn't count the Hydra, because Iolaus helped him, or the Augean stables, as he received payment for his work (in other versions it is because the rivers did the work).
A traditional order of the labours found in Apollodorus (2.5.1-2.5.12) is:
Slay the Nemean Lion and bring back its fur.
Slay the Lernaean Hydra.
Capture the Ceryneian Hind.
Capture the Erymanthian Boar.
Clean the Augean stables in a single day.
Slay the Stymphalian Birds.
Capture the Cretan Bull.
Steal the Mares of Diomedes.
Obtain the Girdle of Hippolyte.
Obtain the Cows of Geryon.
Steal the Apples of the Hesperides.
Capture Cerberus, the guardian dog of Hades.

Hercules is the Roman name for the Greek hero Heracles. Heracles was given a number of tasks (or Labours) to perform. - Check-out a potted version of his story in the link below.
Agatha Christie also wrote a series of stories about Hercule Poirot where he had to solve crimes based on the Labours of Heracles.

Why don't you just Wiki this? Yeah, the stables was one; I think killing the Minotaur was one, etc.
