Ancient sources and legends report that he took great pleasure in showing off his strength.  He had a number of feats he would perform, such as:
* He would hold his arm out, with fingers outstretched, and challenge people to attempt to bend his little finger.
* He would stand on a greased iron disk and challenge people to push him off of it.
* He would hold a [[pomegranate]] in one hand, and challenge others to take it from him. Nobody ever could, and despite him holding the fruit very tightly, it was never damaged.
* He would train in the off years by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until the Olympics took place. By the time the events were to take place, he was carrying a four-year-old cow on his back. He carried the full-grown cow the length of the stadium, then proceeded to kill, roast, and eat it.
