Description
East Pediment - Parthenon by Debra Martz
Not all of the pediment has been preserved. This is only one small section of the north end of the East Pediment.
"The horses of Helios (sun) are depicted as if they are about to rise above the horizon pulling behind them the life giving sun. The horse�s faces are depicted in vigorous activity and full of energy, in contrast to the group of horses at the other end (the north) that appear fatigued and labor with bulging eyes, open mouths, and tense muscles to end their journey below the horizon. The horses of Selene (moon) are tired for they are at the end of their journey across the night sky." info via http://ancient-greece.org/art/parthenon-ped-east.html
