Actaeon and his Hounds


Actaeon Attacked by His Hounds is a 2nd Century Roman work.
They're snapping awfully close to his package.  Oh, my.

  1. Des boucles dans ses cheveux aux chiens à ses pieds, une sculpture magnifiquement détaillée d’Actaeon.
    Rome finally equals the ancient Greeks in the arts.

    1. It was ancient mythology. Anything could and did happen.

  3. He saw the goddess Dianna naked and as punishment she turned his hounds on him and he was torn apart. Lesson learned, never see a virgin goddess naked at her bath.
