Hércules etrusco, s.III-I a.C

Figure of Hercules. Etruria, 3rd-1st century BC.
Bronze.
Measurements: 7.5 cm.
Round sculpture made in bronze in which the figure of Hercules is represented, judging by the abdominal torso and the posture in action that he presents, as well as by the skin of the lion of Nemea that hangs from his arm and the nail in which he raises victoriously. The hero brings one of his feet forward and stretches out one arm, while he draws the other over his shoulder in a throwing attitude. Herakles is the most famous hero of Greek mythology and perhaps also of classical antiquity. His name derives from the goddess Hera and the Greek word "kleos" (glory), i.e. "glory of Hera".
