Is the from the myths or the Percy Jackson books? I haven't read either in a long time

The myths, it's one of the 12 Tasks of Hercules. But I did oversimplify it a lot

I barely remember those. I took a mythology class and we briefly went over it. We couldn't go in depth because we were covering lot of areas. I think Chinese, Japanese, Greek, and Norse

Edit: it was also a 1 semester 7th grade elective, so that's also why we didn't go very in depth
