Hercules faces lions, hydras, birds and infernal powers in a cycle where strength only acquires its greatness by becoming endurance and service.
Heracles for the Greeks, Hercules for the Romans, is the son of Zeus and Alcmene. Pursued by Hera's jealousy, he carried out twelve labors under the authority of Eurystheus intended to atone for a crime committed in madness. He suffocates the Nemean lion, fights the Lernaean Hydra, captures the doe of Cerynia, diverts the rivers to clean the Augean stables and descends to the Underworld to look for Cerberus. His club and the deer of Cerynia become signs of an immediately recognizable power. Rubens transforms hand-to-hand combat into baroque energy. Moreau pits the immobile hero against the monster with multiple heads. Dürer builds a nervous fight against the birds of Lake Stymphale. Leighton finally shows a different force: Hercules fighting Death to bring Alceste back to life. The "Paintings of Hercules" selection notably compares Hercules and the Hydra of Lerna - Gustave Moreau and Hercules and the Lion of Nemea - Peter Paul Rubens. His reading favors the story.
Hercules' labors measure less limitless strength than an ability to start again, to endure the test and to make the impossible useful to others.
