#9 Hippolyta's Gridle - 12 Labours of Hercules

As his ninth labour Hercules had to retrieve Hippolyta's gridle, which was given to her by her father Ares, the god of war.

There are different versions of this labour: some say that Hercules had to kill Hippolyta in order to take the gridle, while some say that she simply gave it to him as a reward for how much he had travelled.

I decided to stick with the last version but, as always, I decided to add a funny side to make the illustration more interesting.

As the second version said Hippolyta is giving her gridle to Hercules, but since she has a weakness for heroes she decided to do a little "trade"! Though Hercules doesn't seem too happy about it. xD

(Also: this is the first labour that doesn't feature any animal!)

I hope you'll enjoy this labour  as much as the others, and I really appreciate your feedback for my series!
