How did Hercules trick Apollo?

Hercules tricked Apollo by challenging him to a contest of strength and skill. He claimed he could capture the Ceryneian Hind, a sacred deer of Artemis, faster than Apollo could shoot an arrow. When Apollo accepted the challenge, Hercules cleverly used his wit to outsmart the god, ultimately claiming victory in the contest. This act showcased both Hercules' strength and his cleverness in outmaneuvering a powerful deity.
