True. But giving the immortal son of Zeus the task "Bring me your uncle's dog" didn't turn out to be such a toughie either. Nor "bring my your half-sister's deer". And Hippolyta untied her girdle after one look at Herk's godly HT score.

Given the multitudes of Zeus' offspring with mortals, I can't say a particularly close famial relationship with his Olympian relations can be expected. In particular, his aunt/stepmother was his enemy from before his birth.

Indeed not. Eurystheus tooka couple of guesses and got unlucky is the matter of who was on what side in that particular casus of the family feud.

Asking him to get her girdle — that would have been a challenge.

Yeah but with her you never know. She might have enjoyed the excuse or been affronted it was even suggested and that would have been bad
