Thanks to Lucian, the 2nd century AD satirist, we know quite a bit about the torture machine known as "the brass bull of Perilaus" or "the bull of Phalaris". The sculptor Perilaos between 570-560 BC. he made to the order of the tyrant Phalaris, a brass bull that could fit an entire man inside. When they lit a fire under the bull, the one inside was roasted alive and his voice were heard, through a special mechanism, like the bellowing of the bull.

It was a fitting end for the inventor of such the diabolical machine. Illustration and drawing from the Museum of Torture in Bruges, Belgium. Jewel Fitila.
