EDITORS COMMENTS
Herakles, the legendary Greek hero and demigod, is depicted in this image as he triumphantly tames the vicious mares of Diomedes, completing the eighth labor assigned to him by his cousin and master, King Eurystheus. The Mares of Diomedes were not ordinary horses; they were man-eating mares, bred by the king of the Bitones, Diomedes, for his personal use. According to the myth, these mares would devour any human who dared to approach them. Herakles, known for his incredible strength and courage, was determined to bring these beasts under his control as part of his twelve labors, a penance given to him by Eurystheus to atone for killing his wife and children in a fit of madness. In this photograph, Herakles is shown with a confident and determined expression, holding a rope in his hand, ready to subdue the mares. Diomedes, the hapless king, is seen lying on the ground, having been fed to the mares as a sacrifice to appease them. Herakles, having completed the labor, will now take the tamed mares back to Eurystheus as proof of his accomplishment. This photograph, from the extensive collection of classical and historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to ancient Greece, allowing us to witness the heroism and mythology of a bygone era. The image is a testament to the enduring power of myth and the indomitable spirit of Herakles, a figure whose tales continue to inspire and captivate audiences even today.
