Title	Lapith Combating a Centaur
Description	English: The hero Theseus has leapt on Bianor's back and seized him by the neck as he prepares to deliver a deadly blow. Barye has depicted an incident from The Metamorphoses, a history of the world by the Roman poet Ovid (43 BC-AD 17). In ancient Greece, the Lapiths, a mythical people of Thessaly, invited to the centaurs to a wedding. The centaurs were mythical creatures, half man and half horse, who roamed Arcadia, a region of Greece, and were notoriously destructive. All the centaurs were killed following a fight that erupted when they tried to carry off the Lapith women.
