The Parthenon Frieze. Block S XXXIII
Image
The missing scenes are known almost to completion from the Carrey drawings: two chariots are depicted (ninth and tenth) that have evidently reached the finish, since their hooves are all firmly on the ground and the charioteers in the bigas (83 and 87). Behind the horses stand the marshals, shown frontally, himation clad (85 and 88) and between the chariots a leader of the group (86), wearing a chlamys. Their upraised arms suggest that they are giving orders.
