Heracles Fighting Cerberus
There are a lot of sculptures in the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace. This one shows Heracles, the greatest hero in Greek mythology, fighting Cerberus, the three-headed hound which guarded the entrance to Hades, as well as the personified Vices, while beneath his feet lies the defeated Hydra, a many-headed water-snake.
It's an impressive sculpture!
