Hercules, Deianira and Centaur Nessus Bas Relief Wall Décor Cast Stone

Once, when Deianira and Hercules were traveling, they came to the Evenus River. A centaur, Nessos, had been appointed ferryman there. As he carried Deianira across, he tried to assault her, and Hercules, hearing her screams, ran to rescue his damsel in distress. Hercules shot the centaur in the heart with one of his arrows. Just before he died, Nessos set up his revenge by telling Deianira that the blood spilling from his wound could be used as a love potion, if need be. Deianira picked up some of the centaur’s blood and saved it. Later, she put it onto a cloak she’d woven for Hercules, hoping it would renew his love for her. The blood, of course, was not a love potion, but a deadly poison instead, and its touch burned Hercules’ skin.
