Phigaleian Metopes.

The following fragments belong to a series of metopes
in high relief, which were placed over the entrance to the
cella of the temple, in a position similar to that occupied
by the metopes of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. In
the Parthenon the frieze takes the place of the internal
metopes, of which however a trace remains in the guttae
which occur at regular intervals below the frieze, and
which imply triglyphs.—Cockerell, Phigaleia, pi. 5.

The fragmentary state of the metopes makes the sub-
jects uncertain, in most instances.

For a general view of the metopes, see Stereoscopic, No. 122.
