The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XLIII
Image
The scene shown here is especially full of action. The herdsman (130) of a rebellious bull is making a tremendeous effort to bring him back into line. Bracing his foot against a rock, he pulls the rope with all his strength. In the effort, his himation has slipped down from his shoulder over his left forearm from which it now hangs. Another herdsman is depicted as moving toward the right behind the bull.
