Description
Greek original of the end of the fourth century BC. From the Horti Lamiani, found in the Piazza Dante (1907).
The two girls depicted in this piece are playing the ancient game of ephedrismós, a game where a target (δίορος; díoros) on the ground is to be hit with a rock or a ball; the loser had to carry the winner, who covered the loser's eyes, on his back until he touched the target with his foot.
