Height, 1 foot 5£ inches; length, G feet 2 inches. Mus. Marbles,
IX., pi. 8 ; Ross, pi. XII., fig. g ; Overbeck, fig. 07 ; Stuart,
II., ch. v. pi. 41, fig. 2. Ross places the one slab (pi. VII.) on
the south side, and the other (pi. VIII.) on the north side.
Kekule (Die Balustrade, p. 17) places them both on the south
side, in an order more probable than that suggested by Hawkins,
Mus. Marbles, IX., p. 29. E.
(C. 5.) Above the slabs already described (1-2) is a
plaster cast from one of those now in position on the temple.
This slab represents Greeks fighting with Persians. On the
left is a mutilated group representing a warrior turning to
assist a comrade who has fallen on his right knee. Next
is a Greek warrior moving forward to pursue a mounted
Persian who is flying to the right. On the extreme right
a Persian on foot flies in the same direction. A slain
Persian lies in the foreground—his body conceals from
view the left foot of the pursuing Greek and the right
hind leg of the horse. The position of this slab on the
temple at the South angle is fixed by the relief on its
return face which is part of the composition of the Eastern
front. This return is not given in the cast here described.
This slab is engraved, Ross, pi. XII. fig. a ; Overbeck, fig. 67 ; Stuart,
II., ch. v. pi. 41, fig. 2.
The dress of the Persians in this frieze is the usual clriton
with long sleeves, girt at the waist, and close-fitting-
trousers, anaxyrides. One of them, the kneeling figure in
C. 4, wears a quiver, gorytos, from which appears the end
of his bow, and two others wear quivers. The only
Persian whose face is preserved is bearded. The heads
and weapons of both sets of combatants have been nearly
all destroyed; some of the Greeks are armed with the
Argolic buckler. Others have a cldamys wound round the
left arm or hanging loose from the body.
