EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the mythological moment of the Birth of Herakles, the legendary hero and demigod son of Zeus and Alcmena. The scene unfolds in the palace of Amphitryon, King of Mycenae, who, unbeknownst to him, was married to the goddess Alcmena. Zeus, disguised as Amphitryon, entered their bedchamber one fateful night, and Alcmena, believing it to be her husband, gave in to his advances. Nine months later, Alcmena gave birth to a strong and mighty baby boy, Herakles. The image captures the tender and emotional moment as Alcmena cradles her newborn son, her face filled with awe and wonder. The midwife, standing by her side, looks on in admiration as Zeus, revealed in his true form, gazes down upon his newborn son with pride. The other gods, including Hera, the jealous wife of Zeus, and Hephaestus, the god of fire, also look on from the heavens. Herakles, who would later be known as Hercules, would go on to become one of the most famous heroes in Greek mythology. His twelve labors, which he completed as a test of strength and endurance, earned him a place among the gods and cemented his status as a cultural icon. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a stunning and intricate depiction of this pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The details of the gods' expressions and the tender moment between mother and son are beautifully rendered, making this a must-have for any collection of classical art or mythology.
