Hercules visits his friend the centaur Pholus, who shares food and wine with him. The other centaurs get drunk and attack Hercules, who fights them off with poison arrows, killing several. While burying the victims, Pholus examines one of Hercules' arrows and accidentally wounds himself with it, dying from the foot wound. Hercules later finds and captures the Wild Boar of Erymanthus, carrying it alive on his shoulders back to Mycenae.
