The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XVII
Image
Depicted on this block, from which the two upper corners are missing, are three horsemen (44, 45, 46) of the eighth group, galloping their horses abreast. One partly conceals the other (the first conceals the second and the second the third). The head of the third horseman (46) is missing. The first (44) wears boots, double-belted chiton and a leather chlamys with wind-blown tip floating out onto the previous block. In the middle, rider (45) is depicted with chiton, chlamys and boots. Of the third, only fragments remain of his garments and his horse.
