Heracles’ eighth Labour – the Mares of Diomedes

An illustration of Heracles 8th labour - the mares of Diomedes - based on the metope at Olympia. Heracles stands in the middle, leaning to the left, while the mare takes up most of the metope behind him. Heracles wields his club, ands the mare is rearing up on its hind legs. Heracles wears a tunic. Behind the mare, Abderos, looking worried, says 'best not leave me alone with them?' Heracles says, absently, 'Gotcha.' A small pile of bones is at the front right of the image, and the mare is splattered with blood and gore. By Greek Myth Comix
