The Nemean Lion is a creature from Greek mythology, specifically known from the myth of Hercules (Heracles) and his Twelve Labors. According to legend, the lion had impenetrable skin and was eventually slain by Hercules. While the Nemean Lion itself is not real, it may have been inspired by ancient encounters with large predatory cats or exaggerated tales of their size and strength.
The name "Leo" comes from the Latin word for lion. The constellation is associated with the Nemean Lion, a mythical creature slain by the hero Hercules as one of his twelve labors in Greek mythology.
