The Parthenon Frieze. Block N IV

On block IV three small youths (9-11) wearing himatia are leading four rams, three of which are clearly visible. Drapery folds of the lower part of the himation of the first figure (9) remain in the left corner of the block. A second youth (10), his stance 3/4 toward the viewer, turns his head around toward the third youth (11). Each rests a hand on the animal he drives, which E. Simon believes are designated for Pandrosos.
