Although the characters were not united in common action, the master took care of the compositional unity of the figure frieze by symmetrically repeating the actions - both heroes pressed the animals to the ground with their left and right feet respectively and held them for the horns. The Athenian hero Theseus also had a youthful face and fastened with the aphragm on his right shoulder chlamyda. The body is in a calm posture, the tension is expressed only by the expression of the face. The Theseus group is close to the composition in the southern metop of the Theseion in Athens, and the one with Heracles and the deer reproduces the Lizipov scheme. Elka Penkova
