EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the legendary Greek hero Herakles (also known as Hercules) engaged in one of his twelve labors, as described in ancient mythology. Here, Herakles is shown in the midst of a fierce battle with the Amazonian women, led by their formidable queen, Hippolyta. The ninth labor of Herakles required him to obtain the Girdle of Hippolyta as a gift for his wife, Deianira. The Amazons, a legendary all-female warrior tribe, were renowned for their military prowess and independence. They lived in the remote region of Themiscyra, located beyond the Black Sea. Herakles, a demigod and the son of Zeus, was no stranger to combat, but the Amazons presented a unique challenge. They were not only skilled warriors, but they also possessed a deep sense of unity and sisterhood that fueled their determination to defend their land and their queen. In this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, Herakles is shown with his characteristic club and lion skin, while the Amazons wield various weapons, including spears, shields, and bows. The chaotic scene is filled with the energy and intensity of battle, as both sides fight for dominance. The intricate details of the costumes and the expressions on the faces of the characters add to the historical and classical feel of the image. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece, and the enduring legacy of its iconic heroes and heroines. It also highlights the importance of order and hierarchy in ancient societies, as Herakles, as a representative of the classical world order, sets out to obtain the Girdle of Hippolyta, despite the challenges and obstacles that come with it.
