Provenance : Ex Sotheby's, Ex European private collection, acquired between 1970's - 1980's, probably at auction at Christie's or Sotheby's NOTES For a reclining figure of Hercules as a fullygrown symposiast see, http://arachne.uni-koeln.de/item/objekt/104173 Heracles, Greek Herakles, Roman Hercules, one of the most famous Greco-Roman legendary heroes. Traditionally, Heracles was the son of Zeus and Alcmene (see Amphitryon), granddaughter of Perseus. Zeus swore that the next son born of the Perseid house should become ruler of Greece, but—by a trick of Zeus’s jealous wife, Hera—another child, the sickly Eurystheus, was born first and became king. When Heracles grew up, he had to serve Eurystheus and also suffer the vengeful persecution of Hera; his first exploit was the strangling of two serpents that she had sent to kill him in his cradle..
