Title

East frieze of the Parthenon: The giving of the Peplos. Athena with Hephaestus.

Alternative Title

A God and a Goddess, perhaps Neptune and Ceres, and two other figures, one of which is a man who appears to examine with some attention a piece of cloth folded several times double; the other is a young girl who assists in supporting it : may we not suppose this folded cloth to represent the Peplus?
