The birth of Athena in art

707

Pheidiac sculpture in the round, not by the epheboi of the west
frieze but by the Hermes of the east pediment1. The abiding
influence of Pheidias' representation may be judged from the fact
that in the pediment of Domitian's Capitoline temple a similar
figure of Mercurius occupied almost the same relative position2.

The two blocks next to Aphrodite were filled, we have said3, by
°ne figure standing and another advancing from the right. If the
former was Apollon kitharoidds, the latter was presumably Artemis.
Brother and sister thus formed a good pendant to the pair of lovers,
Hebe and Herakles, in the opposite wing of the gable. They are
restored in this position by Schwerzek4 (pi. lvii, 3) and in the
corresponding position behind Zeus by Furtwangler5.

Apollon would almost certainly have been wearing the long
chiton customary with kit/idra-p\ayers. His type is, I believe,
preserved with slight modifications by the Munich statue of Apollon
kitharoidds6, which Furtwangler attributed to Agorakritos, the pupil

It may be observed that one copy of the sandal-fastening Hermes, a statuette in the
atican (Clarac Mus. de Sculpt, pi. 814 fig. 2047), makes the god stand towards the right
and raise his left foot. But this inversion of the established pose can hardly be viewed as
a survival of the Parthenon motive.

Of the actual statue one possible portion (fig. 524) remains, two fragments at Athens
which together make the right knee and leg of a male figure
suitable in size (height o-58m) (A. H. Smith in the Brit. Mus. Cpt.
