How can they say 'It's Heracles because he had a club and a pelt'. I mean I don't know that much about greek myths but off the bat Orion also had a club and is depicted with a pelt. Is there something else or...

Seeing as I was downvoted for pointing this out elsewhere would like to know how it apparently evident.

The iconography of Heracles in ancient times was as famous then as let's say a person holding/being affixed to a cross would be now. Not to be a smart ass, just to provide some sort of modern day simile

Orion was rarely, if ever, made a statue because he offended Artemis.
