Context:

Herakles is presented here not only as a hero of extraordinary strength and vitality but also as a beautifully groomed - and thus civilized - individual. This aspect is emphasized in Archaic art. Only later do episodes of the legend, such as the madness that Hera inflicted upon him, become prominent in art. The bronze statuette was probably made to be dedicated in a sanctuary.
