This statue is a reproduction of a marble sculpture from the Hellenistic period, which is currently on display in the Chiaramonti Museum, Vatican Museums.
The ideal representation of the male anatomy has been linked since antiquity to the figure of Hercules, the greatest of mythical heroes and paragon of masculinity par excellence, his extraordinary strength being one of his attributes.
Heracles, Hercules in Rome, was a hero and demi-god, son of the god Zeus and a mortal woman, Alcmene. Hercules’ most famous feat was the Twelve Labours, which were given to him by King Eurystheus as impossible tasks that the demigod was nevertheless able to complete: the lion of Nemea, the hydra of Lerna, the hind of Mount Cerineus, the boar of Erimanthus, the birds of the lagoon Stymphalia, the stables of Augias, the bull of Crete, the mares of Diomedes, the girdle of Hippolyta, the bulls of Geryon, the apples of the garden of the Hesperides and the last one, bringing before Eurystheus Cerberus, the guard dog of the gates of hell.
