For an image today, here is the story of Hercules and the man whose cart got stuck in the mud, 804. Hercules et Rusticus. Rustici aratrum haeret in profundo luto. Mox prostratus, Herculem implorat, cum statim vox a caelo auditur: “Inepte, flagellato equos et ipse totis viribus umerisque annitere rotis! Et deinde Herculem invocato! Tunc enim tibi propitius Hercules aderit.” Fabula innuit quod otiosa vota nihil prosunt; iuva temet, et ipse te adiuvabit Deus. (source)
