Decoration | Blocks XXXIII, XXXIV and XXXV of South Frieze of the Parthenon, showing a section of the procession of the Panathenaic festival. Very little of the original survives and so the majority has been reconstructed following drawings. These blocks show two chariots and charioteers with male figures accompanying them. To the far right are four male figures from a larger group of elders that continue to the next block. |
