The story of Adonis is one of the great hunting myths of classical antiquity.
In this red chalk drawing, attributed to the Roman painter Filippo Lauri (1623–1694), Venus tries to persuade Adonis not to leave for the hunt. He already holds his spear, while a hunting hound waits attentively at his side, ready to follow its master into the forest.
The scene captures the final moment before destiny unfolds. Venus foresees the danger, but Adonis cannot resist the call of the hunt.
Although secondary within the composition, the hound plays an essential iconographic role. It identifies Adonis as the noble hunter and quietly anticipates the tragic expedition that will end with his death at the tusks of a wild boar.
Today the drawing is preserved in the Department of Graphic Arts of the Louvre Museum.

Heracles accomplished many more feats and labours during his lifetime. He served on campaigns, made war and dispatched numerous robbers and wild beasts. The are countless narratives and legends in which these doings can be found in various forms. But the hero’s death is associated with his fatal marriage to Deianeira, a match which he had decided on during his descent into the underworld, where he met her brother Meleager and promised to marry his sister. That agreement, made in a place like the underworld, proved to be decisive. It so happened that when traveling together, Heracles and Deianeira had to cross the river Euenus, where the ferryman was the Centaur Nessus, who lived nearby. Nessus rowed Heracles across first, and then came back for Deianeira. He attempted to ravish her - but Heracles, hearing her cries from the opposite bank, fitted an arrow to his bow and wounded the Centaur in the heart. Nessus decided to take his revenge. He told Deianeira that if she wanted to keep Heracles forever, she should make a potion out of his blood.
