Parthenon / Pediment east


Originally in the right-hand corner of the Temple's east pediment, which held sculptures representing the birth of Athena. The left-most seated women is possibly Hestia, goddess of the hearth. The other two may be Aphrodite reclining in the lap of her mother Dione. [Info. source: British Museum], Bloomsbury, London, England.
