Right
section of a limestone pediment depicting a lioness eating a
small bull. This may have come from the east pediment of the
Hecatompedos (one of the Pre-Parthenons). It dates back to the
early 6th century BC. The head of the lioness looks like that
of a male lion and one is led to the conclusion that it is a
female animal because of its breasts whose nipples are painted
red. - Acropolis
