Title: MID2081, SMID39861
Description: frieze, relief – Material: marble – Dating: -440 – Discovery: AthensAcropolis – Description: One hundred and sixty meters of low relief sculpture, c. 1 meter high, set as the crown of the outside of the cella wall, just below the ceiling of the colonnade. The west frieze depicts the preparation of horsemen. On the north and south friezes are ranks of horsemen, charioteers and apobatai (altogether 21 chariots), older men (perhaps thallophoroi), musicians (auletai and kitharoidoi), hydriaphoroi, skaphephoroi and sacrificial animals (sheep and cows on the north, only cows on the south). The east frieze features women carrying sacrificial implements (kistai, thymiateria, phialai, oinochoai), magistrates and elders (perhaps the eponymous heroes of Athens), the Olympian gods, and the unfolding of a ritual garment. Although interpretation is much debated, that first suggested by Stuart and Revett – that the frieze depicts the Panathenaic procession – is most likely.
