Recreation of a bust of Hercules with lion skin. This statue depicts the hero clad in the skin of the Lion of Nemea, the first of his twelve labors. King Eurystheus commissioned him to hunt this lion, whose skin was so hard that neither iron nor fire could tear it. For this reason it was impossible to hunt, since no weapon could hurt it. Heracles, seeing that the arrows he shot at him did him no harm, employed another strategy; with his mace he forced him into his den, cornered him in it, embraced him, and, using his enormous strength, squeezed him until he suffocated him. Once the beast was dead, Heracles clothed himself in its skin. Theocritus tells that the hero, perplexed by the impenetrable skin of the animal, came up with the idea of using the lion’s own claws, discovering that this was the only way to tear it.
