Omphale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In Greek mythology, Omphale was the Queen of Lydia. As penalty for a murder, Heracles was her slave. He was forced to do women's work and wear women's clothes, while she wore the skin of the Nemean Lion and carried his olive-wood club. With Heracles, Omphale mothered Lamos.
