I had never posted the famous Kerameikos’ bull, because I was not pleased with the photography, but I was a lot more picky when I started the blog, so here it goes:

Archaeological Museum of Kerameikos:

Bull from the grave enclosure of Dionysios of Kollytos, near the Way of Tombs.

The bull stood on a high pedestal in the middle of the grave enclosure, behind a naiskos on which were carved the epigrams and the name and patronymic of the deceased, Dionysios son of Alphinos. Dionysios who died unmarried, lived in the deme of Kollytos, near the Kerameikos and on the island of Samos, where he served as treasurer of the Heraion for the year 346/5 B.C

345-340 B.C

A replica of the bull stands where the original stood at the site, which has been reconstructed after the excavation. Kerameikos- the potters quarter, which also housed brothels,  is mostly known today for its cemetery.

Archaeological Museum of Heraklion:

Fragments of relief frescoes depicting bull-leaping and boxing scenes with full-sized athletes. The unique plasticity and realistic rendition of the musculature has led to their comparison with the sculptures of the Parthenon.
