Olympia Metopes. VIII. Herakles’ Eleventh Labor. Atlas and the Apples of Hesperides.

"Severe Style" sculpture appeals to me.

I have never been to Olympia in Greece, so have only seen pictures and casts of this metope, but the beauty of the figures entrances me.

I sometimes daydream that further "severe style" works will be found in the ocean or turn up in some yet undisturbed site on land.

🍎 A golden orchard beyond the river Oceanus.
A dragon. A prophecy. A war still to come.
This is how Gaia’s gift became the world’s temptation.
