Description:

The group depicts the introduction of the hero Hercules (Hercle in Etruscan) into Olympus by the goddess, Minerva (Menrva in Etruscan; Athena in Greek), his protector. The terracotta was shaped by hand and has traces of polychrome painting on it. In the second half of the 6th century BCE the Ionian style of the Greek cities of Asia Minor captivated the Mediterranean world and fine Late Archaic style temple terracottas such as these were produced; these are from the sanctuary of Minerva at Portonaccio (Veii) (ca. 515-ca. 490 BCE).
