## Prompt

```text
Create a grand museum-quality marble statue scene of {character_name}, the divine strongman of Greek mythology, standing heroically on a carved marble pedestal in a dark classical gallery. The central figure is an extremely muscular adult male with a stern bearded face, curly hair, and deeply carved anatomy, wearing the Nemean lion skin as a hood and cloak with the lion head resting over his head and the paws draped across his chest. He raises a massive rugged wooden club high above his head in his right hand, while his left hand holds a curved bow; a quiver of arrows hangs at his side. He wears a rough draped loincloth, sandals, and animal-hide details, with one foot planted forward on jagged rock. Include exactly 2 companion creatures flanking him: on the left, a seated majestic lion with a thick mane and alert expression; on the right, a coiled multi-headed hydra with exactly 5 visible serpent heads, open mouths, scaled bodies, and intertwined necks. Use pale veined marble for all figures and the base, with realistic chisel detail, cracks, polished highlights, and sculptural shadows. The setting is a dimly lit ancient temple or museum alcove with exactly 2 tall black marble columns in the background, ornate capitals, a black recessed backdrop, subtle overhead spotlights, and a reflective stone floor. Compose as a centered full-body vertical image, low-angle monumental perspective, symmetrical and dramatic, high contrast chiaroscuro lighting, ultra-detailed photorealistic classical sculpture, no modern objects, no text, no watermark.
