This represents the last adventure for Herakles, fighting against Achelous for the hand of Deianeira, daughter of Oeneus, King of the Aetolians. Achelous turned himself firstly into a serpent and then a wild bull, however Herakles tore off his horn and the defeated Achelous threw himself into the river which now bears his name. The horn became the Horn of Plenty.
