Title
East frieze of the Parthenon: The giving of the peplos. Zeus with Hera.
Alternative Title
The remaining part of this stone; here the Priestess places a basket on the head of a young Virgin (k), and puts a torch in her hand; another young female figure has a basket already placed on her head, and holds a tablet in her hand; there seems to be something carefully wrapt up in these baskets. The young figures are two Arrephorae, or Canephorae, referred to in page 8, note (b), who, at the close of the Festival, are dismissed from the Acropolis, after having remained there a certain time to work on the Pepulus. In this Plate are three divinities, perhaps Vulcan and Juno sitting, and Iris standing by her. Vulcan the limping God, seems to be distinguished by having one shoe much higher than the other.Date
