Mythology
Edit
The Nemean Lion is a monstrous lion, the son of Typhon and Echidna. The Nemean Lion lived around Nemea and made the life in the valleys nearby dangerous. It played a role in one of Hercules' labors; Hercules was told to kill it. Since it could not be harmed by any weapon, Hercules suffocated it to death. From its body Hercules took its skull as a helmet and from its skin he made a mantle.
God of War III

Edit
- It is possible that the carving of the Nemean Lion is actually a carving of a Manticore as it has a scorpion tail. If this was the case then the warrior battling it would not be Hercules as he did not kill or even fight the beast.
- The Piraeus Lion bears many similarities to the Nemean Lion, however the former was killed by Kratos and not Hercules.
