Herakles 11th Labor - a photo on Flickriver

Amphora made by a Greek workshop in south Italy and depicting the myth of Herakles and the Apples of Hesperides.

Side (a) Heracles with face to front, beard and moustache, and lion's skin over his head, supporting on his shoulders the heavens, which are represented by a hemisphere on which are a crescent and two stars.

Side (b) The tree in the garden of the Hesperides, on which are three golden apples; round it is coiled the serpent Ladon with two bearded heads, one issuing on either side; the one on the right has its crest raised and tongue protruding. On the left is a Hesperid to right with curly hair, cap, long sleeved chiton and apoptygma to the hips, extending left hand to one of the serpent's heads, as if to calm it.
