Heracles’ eleventh Labour – the Apples of the Hesperides

An illustration of Heracles' 11th labour, based on the Olympian metope. thene stands on the left in her dress and with spear, and Atlas stands on the right holding the tiny apples of the Hesperides (which I've made a bit more recognisable by adding more of them), offering them to Heracles, who, in the middle, is really struggling to hold up the sky. he now wears a simple tunic, rather than being naked as in the metope. Athene is thinking 'so *not* heavy, such a wimp...', whilst Heracles and Atlas have a conversation: Atlas is saying 'so, like, I'll take these back for you?' and Heracles replies 'Cheers, just, er, swap back while I get a pillow… oh, wait, they already carved me one… so… how do I get out of this again?', commenting on the fact that in the metope he already has a pillow so can't use it as an excuse to get away. Oops. By Greek Myth Comix.

Read the accompanying post about the myth and the metope – and what’s wrong with it – and revise for your GCSE Classical Civilisation topic: https://greekmythcomix.com/2023/04/04/heracles-eleventh-labour-the-apples-of-the-hesperides/
