The Girl's Own Paper, Vol. VIII, No. 363, December 11, 1886

Synopsis

My first article dealt chiefly with the long, sculptured frieze that ran continuously the whole length of the walls of the building (protected by the outer colonnade), and the ceremonials which that frieze represented. The present article will be devoted chiefly to the fragments of the external frieze, and to the figures of the eastern and western pediments, which represented the chief legends connected with the goddess. I will, before proceeding, here pause a moment to account for the shattered condition in which those fragments now are.
