Description
Reconstruction of west pediment from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. "Athena's Strife with Poseidon (West pediment): The subject and setting are given by Pausanias (Paus. 1.24.5), who says the pediment represents the struggle between Athena and Poseidon for the land of Attica. Help in reconstructing the composition and identifying individual figures is provided by the drawings made by Carrey in 1674, when most of the sculptures were still in place,"--Perseus Digital Library.
