Герой. Мит. Вотив
Hero. Myth. Votive Offering

Summary/Abstract: The article refers to the depictions of Greek myths on the sculptural monuments found in Lower Moesia and Thrace. The reliefs with the representation of the first of the Herakles Labours, the fight with the Nemean lion, are used as examples. The iconography of these sculptural pieces is studied in the context of similar images in Greek and Roman art. These votive reliefs are dedicated to Herakles by men of Thracian origin, which gives us the additional information on the recognition of the Greek myths and the classical iconography by the Thracian population in the Roman period.
