Hercules and Pallas


  Hercules, once journeying along a narrow roadway, came across a strange-looking animal that reared its head and threatened him. Nothing daunted, the hero gave him a few lusty blows with his club, and thought to have gone on his way. The monster, however, much to the astonishment of Hercules, was now three times as big as it was before, and of a still more threatening aspect. He thereupon redoubled his blows and laid about him fast and furiously; but the harder and quicker the strokes of the club, the bigger and more frightful grew the monster, and now completely filled up the road. Pallas then appeared upon the scene. "Stop, Hercules," said she. "Cease your blows. The monster's name is Strife. Let it alone, and it will soon become as little as it was at first."

This myth was written by Aesop.Aesop lived in ancient Greece.He made 
lots of myths with animals,humans and Gods.Every myth has something to
tell us.In this myth,Aesop tells us about Strife.When two people 
conflict,their Strife becomes bigger and bigger and this will never
end.But if we stop to think before beating our enemy,and we don't 
beat him, our Strife will eventually end.The moral of this story?
