Stymphalian Birds

Stymphalian Birds were birds that had originally lived in the swamp at Lake Stymphalus, in Arcadia.

Hercules’ sixth labour  had involved killing and driving off Stymphalian Birds that had plagued northern Arcadia. Athena gave Hercules a brazen rattle to frighten the birds into flight. Then Hercules shot down many of the birds before driving the rest of them away.
