The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XXV
Image
With this block the chariot course of the south side begins. The groups of apobates and chariots are shown in action, with the exception of the first two on blocks XXV and XXVI and the last two on blocks XXXIII and XXXIV. The first show the preparations for the contest, the last have finished. As a rule, each block has a single chariot. Preserved in fragments from block XXV are: a small piece of the clothing and the rim of the apobates' (62) shield, parts of the horse team of the first chariot and part of the marshal’s himation (64).
