The Bull-Leaping Scenes from Tell el-Dab'a
Abstract
A review-article in 2 parts of M. Bietak, N. Marinatos, and C. Palyvou, Taureador Scenes in Tell el-Daba (Avaris) and Knossos. Part 1 (by Maria Shaw) focuses on international styles in the Eastern Mediterranean in the Late Bronze. Part 2 (by John Younger) focuses on the types of bull-leaping depicted in the Tell el-Daba frescoes and comes to the conclusion that the "Diving Leaper" schema is depicted exclusively, which may indicate a Mycenaean influence.
