Abstract

A new examination, prompted by Dr Peter Calligas, of Parthenon East Pediment C (two horses of Helios), suggests that the underside was trimmed when the group was installed in the pediment. The recutting of pedimental sculptures of the Parthenon to fit beneath the raking cornice is well attested for other figures, but has not previously been suggested for this block.
