The Farnese Hercules is an ancient statue of Hercules, now in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples. It depicts a weary Hercules leaning on his club, with the skin of the Nemean lion draped over it. According to myth, killing the lion was his first task. The Nemean lion was a monster in Greek mythology that lived at Nemea. Eventually, it was killed by Heracles. Because its golden fur was impervious to attack, it could not be killed with mortals' weapons. Its claws were sharper than mortals' swords and could destroy any strong armour.
