Deianira Listens to Fame or Deianira delivering the fatal tunic to the Fury is a 1638 oil painting on canvas (245x168 cm). It is now in the Sabauda Gallery in Turin. It is a pendant to another Rubens painting, Hercules in the Garden of the Hesperides . It shows Hercules' wife Deianira and another woman holding a tunic soaked in the blood of Nessus, which Deianira believed would make Hercules to be forever true to her but instead killed him.
