About this work

Hercules defeats with his club the so-called Molionides: the twins Eurytus and Kteatus, who assisted their uncle Augias in his fight against Hercules. Two women stand by Heracles and the two nephews: a beautiful young lady with long curly hair and a naked old woman with a jawbone in her hand.
