West Pediment of the Parthenon

Reconstruction of the West Pediment of the Parthenon
432 BCE. West Pediment, Acropolis Museum, Athens.

• The centerpiece was a great cross of the two Gods, Athena and Poseidon, sweeping away from each other, yet closed by their glance, their enmity and the direction of their weapons.
• The rearing chariots behind them answer and check the outburst of the duel, and the charioteers and attendant deities are also swept to and fro by the motion and conflict.
