ke arrows, and fed on human flesh. They lived on the shores of the marshes near the city of \b \cf15 \ATXht11917 Stymphalus\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 . \b \cf15 \ATXht10811 Heracles\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 was ordered by \b \cf15 \ATXht10520 Eurystheus\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 t
o drive them away. He was aided in this task by \b \cf15 \ATXht6 Athena\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 , who gave him brazen cymbals that the hero used to make the birds take flight, killing them with his arrows. The ones that escaped him flew toward Pontus, and found
refuge on the \b \cf15 \ATXht109 island of Ares\b0 \cf7 \ATXht0 .\par
