The Parthenon used to contain a wooden Athena statue that was 40 ft tall, but it was surrounded by Ionic columnsyet the exterior of the temple had entirely Doric columns? What effect does this create? Why do you think this was done by the builders? Furthermore, in the nearby Erechtheion the caryatids have Doric capitals? What effect does that have?

This block was placed near the corner of the west frieze of the Parthenon, where it turned onto the north. The horsemen have been moving at some speed, but are now reining back so as not to appear to ride off the edge of the frieze. The horseman in front twists around to look back at his companion, and raises a hand (now missing) to his head. This gesture, repeated elsewhere in the frieze, is perhaps a signal. Although mounted riders can be seen here, much of the west frieze features horsemen getting ready for the cavalcade proper, shown on the long north and south sides of the temple. Pediment sculpture Figures of three goddesses from the east pediment of the Parthenon, Acropolis, Athens. (The British Museum) Figures of three goddesses from the east pediment of the Parthenon. The east pediment of the Parthenon showed the birth of goddess Athena from the head of her father Zeus. The sculptures that represented the actual scene are lost. Zeus was probably shown seated, while Athena was striding away from him fully grown and armed. Only some of the figures ranged on either side of the lost central group survive. They include these three goddesses, who were seated to the right of centre. From left to right, their posture varies in order to accommodate the slope of the pediment that originally framed them. They are remarkable for their naturalistic rendering of anatomy blended with a harmonious representation of complex draperies. The figure on the left is on the point of rising and tucks her right foot in to lever herself up. To the right another figure cradles a companion reclining luxuriously in her lap. They are perhaps, from left to right, Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home, Dione, and her daughter Aphrodite. However, another suggestion is that the two figures on the right are the personification of the Sea (Thalassa) in the lap of the Earth (Gaia).

the amount of fabric used and the collar fitting and sleeve lenghts are the two options, that to me, make the most sense.
