Reproduction of a relief of Hercules archer with bow based on a fragment from the pediment of the temple of Aphaea on Aegina, Greece. The temple of Aphaea, located on the island of Aegina, is dated between the late 6th century BCE and the early 5th century BCE. For a long time, it was considered the temple of Panhellenic Zeus, but it was later discovered to have been dedicated to Athena. The sculptures from its pediments are preserved in the Glyptothek in Munich; its style belongs to the transition between the Archaic and Classical periods.

The demigod Heracles, called Hercules by the Romans, is one of the most famous heroes of Greek mythology, known for his incredible strength and bravery. Son of the god Zeus and the mortal Alcmene, Hercules had to face a series of challenges to prove his worth and earn immortality, such as the famous Twelve Labors imposed on him as penance for the murder of his wife and children, committed in a fit of madness. Among the best-known trials are the capture of the Nemean Lion, the cleaning of the Augean stables, and the obtaining of the golden apples from the Garden of the Hesperides. Hercules is a symbol of resilience and determination in the face of adversity, and his figure has inspired generations of people throughout history.
