Hercules with the Erymanthian Boar

by GIAMBOLOGNA, Bronze, height 47 cm

For the fourth labour, Eurystheus ordered Hercules to bring him the Erymanthian boar alive. The boar lived on a mountain called Erymanthus. Every day the boar would come crashing down from his lair on the mountain, attacking men and animals all over the countryside, gouging them with its tusks, and destroying everything in its path. Hercules trapped the boar in a net, and carried it all the way to Mycenae.
