HERCULES Sculpture Ancient Greek Roman Mythology Marble Handmade Figurine Classical Craft Statue Height 33cm Weight 2500gr (With the Package) Categoty: Statues, Sculptures, Greek Roman Mythology Material: Marble Heracles, Greek Herakles, Roman Hercules, one of the most famous Greco-Roman legendary heroes. Traditionally, Heracles was the son of Zeus and Alcmene (see Amphitryon), granddaughter of Perseus. Zeus swore that the next son born of the Perseid house should become ruler of Greece, but—by a trick of Zeus’s jealous wife, Hera—another child, the sickly Eurystheus, was born first and became king. When Heracles grew up, he had to serve Eurystheus and also suffer the vengeful persecution of Hera; his first exploit was the strangling of two serpents that she had sent to kill him in his cradle.

Ένα από τα πιο ονομαστά αρχαία αγάλματα είναι ο Ερμής «που φέρει Διόνυσον νήπιον» κατά τον Παυσανία και θεωρείται πρωτότυπο έργο του μεγάλου γλύπτη Πραξιτέλη. Το άγαλμα από παριανό μάρμαρο ύψους 2,13 μ. βρέθηκε το 1877 μέσα στο Ναό της Ήρας. Χρονολογείται στα 330 π.Χ περίπου. Ο Ερμής γυμνός, στηρίζεται στον κορμό του δέντρου πάνω στον οποίο είναι ριγμένο το ιμάτιό του, κρατώντας στο ένα του χέρι το νεογέννητο Διόνυσο, που τον μεταφέρει στη Νύσα της Βοιωτίας. Ο μικρός Διόνυσος προσπαθεί να φτάσει κάποιο αντικείμενο που κρατούσε ο Ερμής με το δεξί του χέρι, το οποίο δεν έχει σωθεί. Πιθανότατα ήταν ένα τσαμπί σταφύλι, σύμβολο του Διονύσου. Ο Πραξιτέλης απαθανάτισε τη στιγμή της ξεκούρασης του Ερμή, κατά τη διάρκεια του μεγάλου ταξιδιού προς τη Νύσα. Πρόκειται για ένα από τα πιο αντιπροσωπευτικά έργα του 4ου αι. π.Χ, όπου κυριαρχούν πλέον νέες καλλιτεχνικές εκφράσεις όπως ο ρεαλισμός και ο νατουραλισμός. Κατά την ρωμαϊκή εποχή το άγαλμα μεταφέρθηκε στο Ναό της Ήρας, όπου και βρέθηκε. Τότε υπέστη και κάποιες επεμβάσεις, κυρίως στην πίσω όψη.

The base of the neck is emphasized with an incised V motif. Violin-shaped figurines - thus named for obvious reasons - are the most common type of schematic representations of the human body in the Early Cycladic period, and have several variations. They are usually small, only rarely exceeding 20 cm. in height. We do know that they represent female figures because several examples feature an incised pubic triangle or - less frequently - modeled breasts.
