Young Hercules Killing the Snakes

Entitled: Young Hercules Killing the Snakes. A major factor in the well-known tragedies surrounding Heracles (Hercules) is the hatred that the goddess Hera, wife of Zeus, had for him. Heracles was the son of the affair Zeus had with the mortal woman Alcmene. The child was originally given the name Alcides by his parents, it was only later that he became known as Heracles. He was renamed Heracles in an unsuccessful attempt to mollify Hera. He and his twin were just eight months old when Hera sent two giant snakes into the children's chamber. Iphicles cried from fear, but his brother grabbed a snake in each hand and strangled them. He was found by his nurse playing with them on his cot as if they were toys. Astonished, Amphitryon sent for the seer Tiresias, who prophesied an unusual future for the boy, saying he would vanquish numerous monsters. Engraving by Albrecht Altdorfer, 16th Century.

Young Hercules Killing the Snakes
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Español: Titulado: El joven Hércules matando a las serpientes. Un factor importante en las famosas tragedias que rodean a Heracles (Hércules) es el odio que la diosa Hera, esposa de Zeus, sentía por él. Heracles era el hijo de la aventura que Zeus tuvo con la mujer mortal Alcmena. Al niño lo llamaron originalmente Alcides sus padres, pero fue más tarde que se lo conoció como Heracles. Fue rebautizado como Heracles en un intento infructuoso de apaciguar a Hera. Él y su hermano gemelo tenían solo ocho meses cuando Hera envió dos serpientes gigantes a la habitación de los niños. Ificles lloró de miedo, pero su hermano cogió una serpiente en cada mano y los estranguló. Su nodriza lo encontró jugando con ellas en su cuna como si fueran juguetes. Asombrado, Anfitrión mandó llamar al vidente Tiresias, quien profetizó un futuro inusual para el niño, diciendo que vencería a numerosos monstruos. Grabado de Albrecht Altdorfer, siglo XVI
