Herakles is presented here not only as a hero of extraordinary strength and vitality but also as a beautifully groomed\u2014and thus civilized\u2014individual. This aspect is emphasized; on the Andokides amphora, he appears as fully the equal of the god Apollo. Only later do episodes such as the madness that Hera inflicted upon him become prominent in art. The bronze statuette was probably made as a dedication in a sanctuary.
