I stood next to it a few years ago. That thing is absolutely huge. I'm a tall person but I really felt like a chipmunk. I saw so many amazing things there that day.
@@weyauh4338 quite literally. The modern small waist obsession is solely because we're fat and don't understand a bigger waist is like bigger shoulders bit just for the legs.
There were supposed to be only be 10 Labors but because he had help with the Hydra and the Stables those two were discounted thus Hercules had to perform two more.
@@CapnHilts - ah, ok, my understanding only based on what I heard, it could be you are right even if Wikipedia confirm my comment, anyhow, what brought him to life was the same that killed him, and what the queen of the sky hated more than anything, infidelity
He certainly is holding some apples back there, my goodness.. lol. Until it was mentioned, I didn't see fatigue on him at all. I thought he seemed at ease, but the expression on his face does look pretty weary... I'll try not to remember that part as I exercise today.
i find his posture slightly teasing, almost condescending. there's an arrogance there. hiding the apples, gesturing down to whoever was below/next to him.
I disagree The Romans were faithful sculptors of the faces and bodies of the subject to be depicted and definitely they knew how to work marble To copy does not require creation and it is much easier to do
