Antaeus pour homme by Chanel


Per the National Gallery (UK):

In Greek mythology, Antaeus was a giant who challenged others to wrestling matches in order to kill them and collect their skulls. Antaeus was eventually overcome during a fight with the hero Heracles; Heracles discovered that Antaeus’s strength lay in his contact with the ground, so he held Antaeus aloft and crushed him in a bearhug.

The power and poetry of modern man, indeed.
