i know what all of those words mean, but i’d appreciate what you meant when you put them that way please :)
edit - nevermind - i hate this language. i get what you’re saying. either way, this is a symbolic depiction, not a historical one. there never was a hercules, just is there was no lion.
Oh I know it’s all just fantasy, but still, a mythical figure is known for wrestling a vicious mythical creature, in this case a lion-like one, it’s not really that believable if that lion is dog-sized even if everything never existed in the first place.
I wouldn’t be impressed with tales of fantastical fierce dragons either if those dragons were all the size of your handpalm.
could it be symbolic? i don’t know the history, but this might represent a country that’s low on resources yet high on pride? that’s the impression i get from the sculpture, at least
I expected the lion to be a lot bigger than this…
it isn’t a historical depiction. this is the god Hercules killing a Greek monster.

The mosaic in the link has the lion at least at a respectable size.

This is kinda like in Spinal Tap when Stonehenge lowers down from the sky and it’s like two feet tall.
