Centaur fighting a Lapith
One of the Parthenon marbles, from a series of reliefs that show the fight that ensued when the Lapiths invited centaurs to a wedding banquet. The centaurs got drunk and tried to run off with the Lapith women; chaos ensued. (Protip: don't invite the centaurs to your parties.) This relief appears in the Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology, which Karin read as a child until it nearly fell apart.
