Greek Wall Plaque - Hercules Fighting the Lion
This wall relief depicts the Greek hero Hercules fighting a lion. Hercules was a semigod in Greek legend. His father was the God Zeus and gave him tremendous strength. While his mother was not a god, Zeus's wife, Hera, is always ploting to destroy Hercules because of her jealousy caused by Zeus not being faithful to her. Heecules fought many battles and he learned the lesson that " A true hero isn’t in the strength of ones armor but the strength of his heart!"
