In the Twelve Labors of Hercules, on which mountain was the Erymanthian Boar captured?

Hercules captured the Erymanthian Boar on Mount Erymanthus.

Mount Erymanthus is a mountain range in the northern Peloponnese, near the borders of Achaea and Elis. The wild boar that lived there was described as a destructive and dangerous animal, and Eurystheus ordered Hercules to capture it alive during the fourth labor.

Hercules drove the boar into deep snow, where it became exhausted and easier to restrain. He then bound it and carried it back alive. This detail distinguishes the task from the many Greek myths in which a hero kills a monster or animal; the required achievement here was capture, not slaughter.

The centaur Pholus appears in the surrounding story. While Hercules stayed with Pholus, an opened jar of wine attracted other centaurs, leading to a violent confrontation. That episode explains why the boar labor is linked with the centaurs, although Mount Erymanthus remains the boar’s defining location.
