Stymphalian Birds
Στυμφαλίδες ὄρνιθες
A swamp flock that hurled their feathers like arrows.
Birds raised by Ares, with beaks and feathers of bronze.
They nested deep in a swamp beyond reach — until a bronze rattle from Athena startled them into the air, and Heracles shot them down.
It stands out as the labor won not by strength but by sound.
