The labours of Herakles (Heracles, Hercules)

I don't know where these daft ideas come from, but when they arrive I just have to bring them to life! In the proper story, Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons (a female warrior race) was given a war belt, a kind of armour, by her father Ares, the god of war (Mars in the Roman pantheon). The ninth labour of Herakles was to obtain the belt, or girdle as older translations have it, so that Eurystheus, king of Tyrins, could give it to his daughter. You can look up the rest of the tale for yourselves! And before I forget, I'm not planning to do the other eleven labours, though you can see the hide of the Nemean Lion that was Labour #1.
I'm a great believer in saving myself a lot of effort, so I modified the temple I made for my weather house here:
