Centaur Abducting a Girl
This Parthenon metope (447–438 BC) depicts a Centaur abducting a girl. The Centaur’s calm demeanor contrasts with the violent act, highlighting the duality of Centaurs in mythology. They embody both wisdom, as seen in figures like Chiron, and savage brutality. This imagery reflects ancient Greek exploration of human and animalistic instincts.
