Heracles and the Erymanthian Boar

This animation shows the Greek hero, Heracles, carrying out some of the 12 Labours. He has just completed the quest to kill the terrible Hydra, now he will hunt the Erymanthian Boar. The god, Hermes, travels with him to witness his great deeds. The king who sets the Labours does not like what he sees! The animation was created from a vase made in Athens, in Greece, in the sixth century BCE. The vase can be seen in the National Museum in Warsaw, in Poland (number 198042).

This animation was created as part of the European Research Council (ERC) funded project: Our Mythical Childhood... The Reception of Children's and Young Adults' Culture in Response to Regional and Global Challenges (Grant Agreement 681202; ERC Consolidator Grant led by Prof. Katarzyna Marciniak). www.omc.obta.al.uw.edu.pl/
