Hercules is a Roman hero and god, son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene. In classical mythology, Hercules is famous for his strength, courage, ingenuity, and sexual prowess with both males and females and for his numerous adventures, of which the most renowned were the Twelve Labours.
Hercules has inspired many artists across the age and has been depicted numerous times in sculptures, pottery and paintings.
In ancient Greece many of the statues and architectural sculpture were colourfully painted in a way that is described as ''polychrome'' (deriving from the Greek words many and colour)? However, due to intensive weathering and other effects on the stone, the ''polychromy'' on Ancient Greek sculpture and architecture has substantially or totally faded, leading the scientists for centuries to believe that the statues were originally totally white.
