    "description": "Herakles was the most revered Greek hero, famous for his great strength. This small version of Lysippus' often copied sculpture of the hero departs from the usual representations. He is shown in a moment of pensive exhaustion following the last and most difficult of his Labors, acquiring golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides, which he hides behind his back in his right hand.",
