Description
View of procession on the east frieze at the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. Gordon Bugbee Collection. "The east side is treated somewhat differently, as it represents both a continuation of the procession and its culmination. Women head up both streams of the parade: a group of sixteen from the south and thirteen from the north. Several men accompany them. The women are sometimes identified as attendants for the sacrifice, sometimes as the Ergastinai who wove the peplos,"--Perseus Digital Library.
