Interesting history and mythology
Los Hercules y la Union del Mundo的点评
点评：This is a large sculpture showing Hercules pushing apart the pillars of Hercules.
The Pillars of Hercules were two promontories flanking the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, marking the boundary between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In Greek mythology, these pillars were said to have been created by Hercules (known as Heracles in Greek) during his tenth labour. The northern pillar, called Calpe Mons, is identified as the Rock of Gibraltar in Europe. The southern pillar is either Monte Hacho (Abyla, in ancient times) now with a castle on the top of it, overlooking the city of Ceuta, or the taller mountain called Jebel Musa, located a little west in northern Morocco.
There are different myths on the origins. Some legends say that Hercules could have broken through a mountain to create the Strait of Gibraltar, forming the two pillars on either side of the Strait. Or he narrowed an existing strait to prevent monsters from the Atlantic Ocean from entering the Mediterranean Sea. Whatever, it is said that to the ancient Greeks and Romans they represented the demarcation between the known and unknown world.

翻译：这是一座大型雕塑，描绘了赫拉克勒斯推开赫拉克勒斯柱的情景。
赫拉克勒斯柱是直布罗陀海峡入口两侧的两座海角，标志着地中海和大西洋的边界。在希腊神话中，据说这些柱子是赫拉克勒斯（希腊语中称为赫拉克勒斯）在他的第十次劳动中创造的。北柱被称为卡尔佩蒙斯，在欧洲被称为直布罗陀巨岩。南柱要么是现在的蒙特哈乔（古代称为阿比拉），上面有一座城堡，俯瞰休达市，要么是位于摩洛哥北部稍西边的更高的山杰贝尔穆萨。
关于它的起源有不同的神话。一些传说说赫拉克勒斯可能打破了一座山，创造了直布罗陀海峡，形成了海峡两边的两根柱子。或者他缩小了现有的海峡，以防止大西洋的怪物进入地中海。无论如何，据说对古希腊人和古罗马人来说，它们代表了已知世界和未知世界的分界线。
