Some of the most famous heroes from Greek mythology are brought to life in the stunning artwork. Hercules slays the half-man, half-horse Centaur. Pelops wins the hand of a king's daughter by sabotaging his racing chariot. The handsome Bellerophon kills the fire-breathing Chimaera monster with the help of his flying horse, Pegasus and a lance tipped with lead. This legend spread down the centuries into the folklore of many countries; in Britain, it became Saint George and the Dragon.
