The original monument stands at the Tuileries Garden. This most interesting mythological duel stems from the quest for the fairest of maiden of the time, Dejanira. Achelous was a river god with the power to transform into a serpent and bull. He and Hercules were the last two suitors making their case to the father of Dejanira when Achelous made some offensive statements about Hercules. Hercules ire was kindled and thus, the fight was on.
