The slaying of the Nemean Lion was the first of Heracles' twelve labours, ordered by King Eurystheus. Taken from Greek mythology, the tale was popular in Roman and later Renaissance times, his name thus Romanised to Hercules. The greatest of Greek heroes, he is depicted here wearing the Nemean lion's pelt.
