Abstract
There were three main ways to depict bull-leaping in the Aegean Late Bronze Age (ca. 1600-1300 BCE): grabbing the bull's horns and having the bull flip the leaper over its back (Evans's Schema), diving down the bull's neck from an elevated position (Diving Leaper Schema), and floating above the bull while perhaps executing a vault over the bull's back (Floating Leaper Schema).
