Admired Bull Captures Cretan Herakles Hercules Minos Minotaur Offspring Poseidon Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the legendary Greek hero Hercules, or Herakles, in the midst of a pivotal moment from his twelve labors. Here, he is shown boldly confronting the fearsome Cretan Bull, a formidable creature sired from the union of King Minos' wife, Pasiphae, and the bull sent to Crete as a gift from Poseidon. The Minotaur, a monstrous offspring with the head of a bull and the body of a man, terrorized the people of Crete, trapped in the labyrinth created by the architect Daedalus. King Minos, desperate for a solution, called upon Hercules to capture the beast and put an end to the chaos. In this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, Hercules is shown with unwavering determination as he grapples with the Cretan Bull. The muscular hero, clad in a lion skin, stands tall and confident, his strength and courage evident as he attempts to subdue the wild creature. The bull, with its powerful form and menacing expression, represents the raw power and unpredictability of nature. This historical and mythological scene is a testament to the enduring tales of ancient Greece, where gods and heroes intertwined in a world of epic adventures and legendary feats. The story of Hercules and the Cretan Bull continues to captivate audiences, inspiring awe and admiration for the hero's bravery and resilience.
