In the Twelve Labors of Hercules, which wild boar did Hercules capture alive?

The Erymanthian Boar was the wild boar Hercules captured alive in the Twelve Labors.

The animal lived on Mount Erymanthus and ravaged the surrounding countryside. Eurystheus ordered Hercules to bring it back alive, so the task required controlling the beast rather than killing it. Hercules drove the boar into deep snow, where it became exhausted and easier to restrain.

He then bound it and carried it to Eurystheus. In the best-known artistic tradition, Eurystheus was so frightened by the sight of the living boar that he hid in a large bronze storage jar. That comic reaction contrasts with the dangerous image of Hercules carrying the massive animal.

The Erymanthian Boar is often confused with the Calydonian Boar. The Calydonian animal belonged to a separate hunting expedition led by Meleager and was not one of Hercules’ Twelve Labors.
