EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph print titled "Hercules and Cercopes" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, this artwork beautifully captures a scene from a Greek vase painting. In this illustration, we witness the mighty hero Hercules confronting two mischievous brothers known as the Cercopes. The story goes that these cunning thieves would steal from unsuspecting travelers, causing chaos wherever they went. However, their luck ran out when they crossed paths with Hercules. With his incredible strength and determination, Hercules carries one of the Cercopes on his shoulder while gripping onto a pole to keep him in place. The other brother watches anxiously as he awaits his own punishment for their thieving ways. The fine details and vibrant colors in this artwork bring life to this ancient tale of heroes and villains. It is a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology and its influence on art throughout history. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where gods and mortals collide, reminding us of the timeless stories that have shaped our understanding of heroism and adventure.
