Herakles captures the Kerkopes - images from Wiki Commons
THE KERKOPES (Cercopes) were a pair of monkey-like thieves which plagued the land of Lydia in western Anatolia. They were once captured by Herakles who was so amused with their jokes that he set them free unharmed. The pair later ran afoul of the god Zeus who transformed them into monkeys, or else turned them to stone, as punishment for their crimes. The Kerkopes were sons of the Titan Okeanos (Oceanus) by Theia, a daughter of the Aithiopian (Ethiopian) king Memnon. (source)

«Le natiche di Eracle erano come un vecchio scudo di cuoio, affumicate dalla lunga esposizione al sole, oltre che dal soffio infuocato di Caco e del toro cretese. Quando Eracle catturò i due beffardi Cercopi, che venivano a derubarlo e a rubargli il sonno sotto specie di fastidiosi tafani, dopo averli costretti a riprendere forma umana li appese entrambi per i piedi a una trave e se li caricò sulle spalle, bilanciandosi il peso. La testa dei due minuscoli furfanti pendeva all'altezza delle natiche possenti dell'eroe, che la pelle di leone gli lasciava scoperte. Allora i Cercopi ricordarono le parole presaghe della loro madre: «Miei piccoli Culi Bianchi, guardatevi dal momento in cui incontrerete il grande Culo Nero». I due ladri appesi furono squassati dal riso, mentre le natiche dell'eroe continuavano ad alzarsi e abbassarsi nella sua marcia sicura. Andando, l'eroe sentiva dietro le spalle quello sghignazzare soffocato. Era triste. Neppure le sue vittime lo prendevano sul serio. Scaricò a terra i due furfanti e si mise a ridere con loro. Altri raccontano che li uccise.»
—Roberto Calasso Le nozze di Cadmo e Armonia

A froghopper (Cercopis cf. vulnerata) resting on a orchid stem into a grass of the Northern Apennines. The bright contrasted coloration is a warning about its unpleasant taste. #insect #bug #cercopidae #laowa24mmprobe #red #picoftheday #pickoftheday #nature #wildlife @ilcp_photographers https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvEQ8DA2lR/?igshid=q7lq0xllgpc8
