Légende

Cast of eponymous hero/magistrate from East frieze of Parthenon (figure 46 of Slab VI), 19th century. Relief of an older man talking and leaning on a stick. He probably represents an eponymous hero (one of ten after whom the tribes of Attica were named) or a magistrate. The Parthenon Frieze, a marble sculpture created to adorn the upper part of the Parthenon's naos, was made between c443 and 437 BCE, most likely under the direction of Phidias. This portion of the original slab is now in the British Museum.
