The mythical hero Heracles, known as Hercules in Roman culture, was the son of Zeus and mortal Alcmene. This exquisite artifact captures the essence of his legendary strength and heroic exploits. In this image, we witness Hercules in a vulnerable state, depicted with vivid colors that bring out the intensity of his drunkenness. His staggering pose conveys his loss of control and adds a touch of realism to this ancient masterpiece.
