Did you know?As penance for a murder committed in madness, Hercules was sold as a slave to Omphale, Queen of Lydia — for a full year he wore women's clothes and spun wool while she wore his lion-skin and carried his club. Dantan showed the moment at the 1874 Paris Salon; the reversal of power scandalised and delighted in equal measure.

Hercules at the Feet of Omphale
by Joseph-Édouard Dantan — 1874
Dantan painted the punished demigod from her side — Omphale reclining, Hercules crouched with a spindle. Opposia walks around the couch: her back, the lion-skin draped behind her, and Hercules' full face for the first time — the great hero of Greece caught mid-humiliation, meeting our eye.
