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?

Yeah, kinda like what artists of Mary have done for centuries: just imagine and get to work on it.

Pretty much the same time the Egyptians stopped believing in RA: say a few hundred years after a certain religious group arose in the middle east area.
