How did Hercules clean out the augean stables?

Hercules cleaned out the Augean stables as one of his Twelve Labors by diverting two rivers, the Alpheus and the Peneus, to wash out the massive accumulation of dung that had built up over years. He negotiated with King Augeas to undertake this task in exchange for a share of the cattle. By using the rivers, Hercules was able to complete the task in a single day, transforming the stables and fulfilling his labor. This labor showcased his strength and ingenuity, as well as his ability to think creatively to solve difficult problems.
