The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XLII
Image
The next seven blocks (XLI – XLVII) show youths driving bulls for sacrifice. There is some doubt about the sequence here. On blocks XLI and XLII the bulls are moving quietly along, beside them their herdsmen (122-126), wrapped in himatia, moving straight ahead with their eyes fixed on their destination.
