Name: Sacrificial Bull with Men
Picture:
Description: Parthenon South Frieze. London, British Museum. H. 1.06m. Men leading bulls. From the left: a man, muffled in a cloak, walks alongside a sacrificial bull. Alongside the bull walks another muffled man. Behind them, a second bull raises its head skyward and kicks out with its forelegs. A youth looks on, and a man (on the next slab) lays a calming hand on the beast's back.
Date: c. 440 B.C.
