I'll take you on.
And strike you with desire of fault lines
No clutch, no storm.
I can bind you with no ties and leash, and watch you fall.
Story Behind Art
Lapith Fighting a Centaur is one of 92 action reliefs adorning the Doric frieze of the Parthenon. It is from the south side, which was mainly composed different battles between a lapith and a centaur to represent entire events. The story behind it is that Peirithous, king of the Lapiths, invited the centaurs to his wedding. The centaurs became drunk and attempted to abduct the bride Hippodameia and other women. A war began, and in the end the Lapiths drove the centaurs out of Thessaly.
