Drunken Hercules in front of the Queen Omphale - Fresco from House of the Prince of Montenegro - Pompeii. Hercules is drunk and dressed as a woman before Queen Omphale, while several cupids toil with his club. The depiction emphasizes the power of Dionysus and wine. According to myth, Queen Omphale of Lydia had the demigod Hercules as a slave for a year. Among the few classical sources that recount his period of slavery. Ovid goes into detail, narrating that during his days of captivity, the demigod performed tasks far removed from his image as a fearless hero, such as spinning wool. Love for Omphale has so "blinded" the demigod that he finds no humiliation in engaging in feminine pursuits, with those same arms that have annihilated fearsome adversaries, ferocious beasts, and even monsters. The work was probably placed in a room that served as a triclinium.
