Hercules Wrestling with Antaeus, 1925
Hercules Wrestling with Antaeus, 1925. According to Greek Mythology, Antaeus was a giant, the son of Poseidon and Gaia. He would challenge passers-by to a wrestling match and collected their skulls after defeating them. He possessed unbeatable strength so long as he remained in contact with the ground, but if not, was as weak as other men. Hercules was able to lift him in the air and crush him in a bear hug. Illustration from The Book of Myths by Amy Cruse, 1925

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense struggle between Hercules and Antaeus, as depicted in Greek mythology. The illustration, taken from The Book of Myths by Amy Cruse in 1925, brings to life this legendary battle between two formidable opponents. Antaeus, a giant born from the union of Poseidon and Gaia, possessed unparalleled strength as long as he remained connected to the ground. He would challenge unsuspecting passers-by to wrestling matches, collecting their skulls after defeating them. However, Hercules was no ordinary man. With his extraordinary power and determination, he managed to lift Antaeus into the air despite his opponent's invincible might on solid ground. The monochrome image beautifully portrays the heroic nature of both characters involved in this epic clash. It symbolizes not only physical strength but also courage and heroism in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of ancient Greece's rich mythological heritage that continues to captivate our imagination today. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of these timeless tales that explore themes such as power dynamics, triumph over obstacles, and human resilience. The Heritage Images' collection has preserved this remarkable piece for us all to appreciate its historical significance while marveling at its artistic beauty.
