The Labours of Herakles
Marian Maguire

Having arrived in New Zealand on board the Endeavour during artist Marian Maguire?s previous series, The Odyssey of Captain Cook, the ancient Greeks resolve to settle the New Land. In The Eabours of Herakles, a collection of twelve lithographs and eight etchings, the archetypal hero is cast as New Zealand colonist. His objective: to claim and tarne the land. But the process is unsettling.

This catalogue is a revised and expanded edition, published to accompany The Eabours of Herakles exhibition at the Staatliche Anti­kensammlungen in Munich, Germany in 2015. It includes plates of all images in the series, plus four works from The Odyssey of Captain Cook series, which set the scene for Herakles? migration to the Southern hemisphere. The 2015 edition includes an introduction by Rolf Michael Schneider, presented in both English and German, and an essay by art historian Elizabeth Rankin, also in English and German, which is illustrated by much of Maguire?s source material. An essay by classical Scholar Patrick O?Sullivan describes Herakles and his mythic past. And to provide a fuller picture of the nineteenth Century in New Zealand, photographs and extracts from settler accounts — most written in the first person, with an explanatory introduction are also featured
