West Terrace King and Hercules

West Terrace King and Hercules

On the left is a slate orthostat depicting Antiochus I Epiphanes (on the left) shaking hands with Hercules (as usual, nude, carrying a club and a lion pelt). 

For a VERY VERY SIMILAR depiction of the father of Antiochus, Mithridates I, at nearby Arsameia Click Here.
