Herkules im Kampf mit dem Hesperischen Drachen

Imagine standing here in the Great Garden, gazing at this impressive sculpture of Hercules. Look closely at the muscles, how they seem to pulse with the effort of his struggle against the Hesperian Dragon. Did you know that this dragon was the guardian of the golden apples of immortality? Hercules' task was to retrieve these apples as his eleventh labor, a testament to his strength and bravery. If you turn around and head about 18 meters southwest, you'll find another monument where Hercules defeats King Busiris of Egypt. Each sculpture in this garden has its own story of courage and myth, resonating across centuries.
