The Greek Romances of Heliodorus, Longus and Achilles Tatius

Note 22 — BOOK X.

Rowland Smith translation

Suetonius mentions an exploit similar to this of Theagenes, and performed by a Thessalian, as he was (Claud. cap. 21). "Præterea Thessalos equites qui feros tauros per spatia circi agunt, insiliuntque defessos, et ad terram cornibus detrahunt." The above exploit was called ταυροκαθαίρια. It is represented in one of the Arundel marbles.
