Only Fools Faceoff with the Erymanthian Boar

 

For generations, when Artimis-Mistress of the Hunt was angered she would send the fearsome Erymanthian Boar to destroy the farms and animals of those who had offended the Goddess.

So powerful and dangerous was the Erymanthian Boar that it would take the great Herakles to subdue the beast. 
As the 4th of his tasks, Herakles was required to capture the Erymanthian Boar and deliver him to King Eurystheus of Mycenae.  So fearsome was the boar that the king hid in a bronze urn until his retaines took the monster away.
The Erymanthian Boar is a plastic piece I painted in July of 2021.
