A Greek mythological figure. Son of the sun god Helios. King of Elis, he owned 3,000 cows, but had not cleaned his cowshed for 30 years. Heracles was ordered to clean up the dung in the cowshed as one of his 12 labors. He promised Augeias that if he could complete the task in one day, he would receive a tenth of the cows as a reward. He then diverted the waters of the Alpheios and Peneus rivers, and completely cleaned the shed by evening. However, Augeias did not pay him the promised reward, and he ended up being killed by Hercules.
