Hera, the Greek goddess of marriage, who had always harbored resentment towards Hercules, sent a crab during the epic battle at Lake Lerna to distract Hercules fighting with the Hydra. The crab crept up and pinched him on the heel. Hercules, enraged by the crab's audacity, lifted his foot and crushed the creature. Hera was moved by the bravery and loyalty of a crab and placed it in the sky as the constellation Cancer. In the painting “A Pinch of Divinity,” Hera’s tender gesture towards her pet crab is a whimsical nod to the creature’s future celestial grandeur, immortalizing a moment of divine favor and crustacean ambition. The playful interaction, set against the backdrop of a serene seascape, encapsulates the crab’s imminent ascension to stardom - quite literally - in the starry realms of the constellation Cancer, marking its eternal reward for a pinch of bravery amidst Herculean trials.
