Black-Figure Amphora (Storage Vessel) (Primary Title) attributed to, Group E, Greek (Artist) Date: 540 BC Culture: Greek (Attic) Category: Ceramics Containers-Vessels Medium: terracotta Collection: Ancient Art Dimensions: Overall: 16 1/4 × 11 1/8 in. (41.28 × 28.26 cm) Object Number: 62.17 Herakles was the most popular hero of antiquity and was frequently worshipped as a god. He is best known for the twelve labors he performed to atone for killing his wife and children in a fit of madness. His first labor was to slay a fearsome lion that was devouring the people of Nemea (near Corinth). Since swords and arrows could not penetrate the lion’s hide, Herakles killed it with a club and used the beast’s own claws to skin it; afterward, he wore the skin as both a trophy and protective garment.
