NORTH FEIEZE OF PARTHENON. 93
Carrey, we have only the hoof already mentioned, and the
38, 39. mutilated group to which the charioteer (No. 38) and an
apobates (No. 39) belong; this is made up of four frag-
ments. In this group the apobates (No. 39) stands in the
chariot, looking back to the next chariot, which follows so
closely that the forelegs of the horses actually overlap this
group. Here also the wheel was in part completely free
from the ground of the relief.
From Carrey's sketch we know that the chariot on slab XVII.
xvii. was drawn by the horses, which occupied the last
slab xvi., and whose hoofs are seen on slab xv., and that
41. this was the fifth chariot group. The apobates (No. 41)
of this chariot leans back, supporting himself by the
right hand, which grasped the chariot rail, and is about
42. to step off the chariot. The marshal (No. 42) steps back
to the left, looking in the contrary direction; his left
arm, muffled in his mantle, is raised as a signal to the
advancing throng; his right arm is also raised ; the hand,
now wanting, was just above the level of the head. His
animated action forms a strong contrast to the calm
attitude of the marshal (No. 43) of the following group.
The right side of this slab is broken away, but there can
be no doubt that it comes next to slab xviii. A photo-
graph from the original is reproduced in Baumeister,
Denlmaeler, p. 1186, fig. 1388.
In slab xviii. have been three figures. The marshal XVIII.
43. (No. 43) stands beside the horses, in a calmer attitude
than is usual in this part of the frieze; of the apobates
44-45. (No. 45) nothing remains but his right arm and leg; and
the lower part of his drapery, which indicates rapid
movement. Of the charioteer (No. 44), we have only
the lower part of the body and hands. He wears a tunic
with long sleeves.
Parts of the harness can be seen on this slab, and also
on slabs xiii., xix., xxi., xxiii. The general arrangement
