They had amazing skills and knowledge of anatomy long before Michelangelo Buonarroti. He was celebrated in his lifetime as the only artist who could surpass antiquity sculpture.

Stone carving is an amazing art, even more so when you think back then there were no power tools to carve the stone.

Since there was never a ‘god’ Hercules I take it the statue was sculpted from a male model.
Was every statue of Hercules different? Did they try to make them all look like some idea of what Hercules, and I’m speaking of his facial likeness here, what Hercules looked like?
I wonder when they stopped believing in Hercules?
