The Greeks take their clothes off more than we do.
The River-God is usually depicted in one of three forms: as a man-headed bull; a bull-horned man with the tail of a serpentine-fish in place of legs; or as a reclining man with an arm resting upon a pitcher pouring water. His taut musculature, expressive limbs, and windblown hair are modelled with extraordinary vigour.
Here, he is represented headless and without limbs.
