Cerberus Drags Headed Herakles Hercules Labour Tiryns Twelfth Eurystheus Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the legendary Greek hero Herakles, also known as Hercules, in the midst of completing one of his twelve labors as ordered by King Eurystheus of Tiryns. In this labor, Herakles is shown subduing the fearsome three-headed dog Cerberus, the guardian of the underworld. Herakles, a demigod and the son of Zeus, is renowned for his extraordinary strength and courage. Dressed in his iconic lion skin and armed with a club, he stands confidently before the menacing Cerberus. The three heads of the dog are snarling and baring their teeth, ready to attack. Yet, Herakles remains undeterred, his steely gaze fixed on the beast. The background of the print is filled with the chaotic scene of the underworld, with figures of the dead and mythical creatures adding to the sense of otherworldliness. Smoke rises from the ground, and the darkness is pierced by the occasional flash of lightning. Despite the danger, Herakles remains determined, reaching out to grasp Cerberus's jaws. The dog, sensing the hero's strength and resolve, seems to submit, allowing Herakles to drag him back to the surface world. This triumphant moment marks the completion of the twelfth labor, a testament to Herakles' unwavering courage and determination. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece, transporting us back to a time of gods, heroes, and legendary feats. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the story to life, making it a stunning addition to any collection of classical art or mythology.
