In Hercules' sixth labor, which birds with brass claws and sharp metallic feathers were slain?

• A. Griffins
• B. Stymphalian birds
• C. Harpies
• D. Sirens

Answer: (B)

The question tests your knowledge of Hercules’ sixth labor and the distinctive creatures involved. The Stymphalian birds are described as having brass or bronze claws and metallic feathers, a detail that sets them apart from other legendary birds. They lived near Lake Stymphalus in Arcadia and posed a serious threat to people until Hercules drove them into the air and then shot them down, aided by a noise-making device given by Athena. Griffins, harpies, and sirens are different mythological beings with their own stories, but they do not fit the description of the sixth labor or the metallic features tied to the birds in this labor. So the Stymphalian birds are the best answer.
