Herakles Pillows

Heracles went to Delphi to ask what to do in order to be expiated from the murder of Iphitos. When the Pythia did not give him an omen Heracles grabbed the tripod on which she used to sit to give her oracles. Apollo tried to prevent him from doing so and this ended up with Zeus having to stop the fight between the god and the hero.

I recreated a design from a 4th century BC Greek vase from Papua New Guinea. No kidding. The captain of a Greek vessel got lost on its way home. Evil and beautiful Mermaids had given him wrong directions and it took him 10 years to come back. Anyway, that's the story he told his wife.

For his tenth labor, Hercules had to sail to the end of the world to kill the 3 headed monster Geryon to bring back his cattle. I reproduced the design of a magnificent Greek vase painted by Euphrosios. This design is very close to the original colors of the red figure vase. I created an other version differently colored.

Herakles fought Antaeus on his way to the Garden of Hesperides as his 11th Labour. When he realized that he could not beat Antaeus by throwing or pinning him. He lifted him from the ground and crushed him to death in a bear hug.

For his tenth labor, Hercules had to sail to the end of the known world (the Atlanntic ocean) to bring back the cattle of the 3 headed monster Geryon. I reproduced the design of a magnificent 5th century BC red figure Greek vase painted by Euphrosios. These colors differ from the original vase, a different version, closer to the original, is also available in this shop.

Greek hero Herakles is wrestling the marine monster Triton during one of his legendary tasks he had to perform after he mistakenly killed his wife and children. I reproduced the design of an ancient Greek drinking cup. This is one version out of 6.

The Hercules constellation is located in the northern sky. It was named after Hercules, the Roman version of the Greek hero Heracles. This eye-catching design is perfect for anyone that likes astronomy, planets, stars, galaxies, or astrology. If you're looking for a unique gift for an astronomy student or space lover, look no further!

This design is inspired from a bronze shield strap describing Herakles killing the Nemean lion. Hercules' first task was to bring King Erystheus the skin of this invulnerable lion which terrorized the hills around Nemea.
