Boraiolo was the earliest painter who was familiar with anatomy knowledge and accurately depicted the human body. In order to accurately reflect reality, he combined scientific anatomical knowledge with artistic creation to make the picture realistic and vivid. It is said that he also personally dissected corpses for this reason. . Like all humanitarian painters, his artistic creation is different from ancient Greek art, not propagating mystical teachings, but celebrating human character and emotion.

As a student of two master sculptors, Donatello and Gasbio, Pollaiolo has his own unique talent. He is not only good at sculpture, but also good at painting and printmaking. In terms of skills, he is better than his teachers. He especially likes to draw nude figures, and he is also very skilled in sketching; he is proficient in perspective and anatomy. This may be related to his more contact with many Roman sculpture imitations belonging to the later period of Greece at that time, because he has been engaged in the production of gold and silver handicrafts and sculptures for the Holy See for a long time, and has the opportunity to contact the collection of the palace.
Antaeus, the son of the earth goddess Gaia and the sea god Poseidon, lived in Libya. He was so powerful that he forced all who passed by where he lived to wrestle with him and killed them, thereby collecting the skulls of the dead to build a temple to his father Poseidon. Hercules was also forced to wrestle Antaeus as he passed through Libya. Hercules fell on Antaeus several times, and Antaeus always miraculously stood up and regained his strength quickly.
Finally, Hercules discovered the secret of Antaeus: Antaeus’ infinite power came from his contact with the earth, and as long as his feet stood on the earth, he could never be defeated, because he was always able to get from the earth Get unlimited power from your mother. So, in a later fight, Hercules lifted Antaeus into the air to incapacitate him and strangled him to death. This bronze sculpture shows the last moment of Hercules’ victory over the enemy. Pollaiolo also created a painting of the same name with basically the same figure, which is now in the Uffizi Museum in Florence.
Hercules (Greek: Ηρακλής, English: Hercules, also translated Hercules), is the greatest hero in ancient Greek mythology. Son of the god-king Zeus and Alcmene, he is born with infinite power. But because of his birth, he was hated by Zeus’ wife Hera, so he was cursed by Hera, which caused him to kill his own children in a madness. To atone for his sins, he completed 12 “impossible” tasks. On the way, he also rescued the bound Prometheus, participated in Jason’s heroic expedition in hiding, and assisted Jason in obtaining the Golden Fleece.
Hercules was wise, but was misunderstood by his wife and smeared poison on his clothes, causing him to set himself on fire and die in unbearable pain. After his death, he ascended to Mount Olympus, was named Hercules by Zeus, participated in the war between the gods of Olympus and Guigantes, and won the victory. In the end, she and Hera released her former suspicion. In order to express her recognition of him, Hera betrothed her daughter, Hebe, the goddess of youth, to Hercules as his wife.
In today’s Western world, the word Hercules has become synonymous with strong man and strong man.

Antaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀνταῖος) was a giant in Greek mythology. According to mythology, Antaeus, the son of the earth goddess Gaia and the sea god Poseidon, lived in Libya.
Antaeus is infinitely powerful and invincible as long as he remains in contact with the earth, Hercules discovers Antaeus’ secret and lifts Antaeus into the air so that he can’t get power from Gaia , and finally strangled him.
His wife’s name is Tingis. Antaeus is infinitely powerful, and invincible as long as he remains in contact with the earth (because then he can continuously draw infinite power from his mother). He forced all who passed through his land to wrestle with him, and killed them; the purpose of this was to collect the skulls of the dead to build a temple to his father Poseidon.
When Hercules, the greatest hero of Greek mythology, passed through Libya, he discovered the secret of Antaeus: Antaeus’ infinite power came from his contact with the earth. During the battle between the two, Hercules lifted Antaeus into the air so that he could not gain power from Gaia, and finally strangled him (Apolodoros, II.5). People often use the story of Antaeus to describe that spiritual power cannot be separated from material foundations, or that a person cannot be separated from his country and people.
The battle between Antaeus and Hercules is a common theme in ancient sculpture. Dante quotes Antaeus in The Divine Comedy as the guard who guards the 9th floor of hell. Heine also quotes the myth of Antaeus in his poems.
Due to the close connection between the mythology of Antaeus and the Berber-Libyan mythology, Herodotus had speculated that Poseidon may have been a Berber god at first and was later absorbed into their mythology by the Greeks.
