| dc.description | Right side, view of the horse head from the chariot of the moon-goddess Selene; "Elgin Marbles" is a popular term for the collection of sculpture from the Parthenon acquired by Lord Elgin in Athens between 1801-1805. The collection includes other works from the Acropolis as well. The Parthenon sculpture includes roughly half of what now survives: 247 feet of the original 524 feet of frieze; 15 of 92 metopes; 17 figures from the pediments, and various other pieces of architecture. The central section of the east pediment of the Parthenon showed the birth of Athena. The myth was not often depicted in classical times, although it had been popular in the Archaic period, especially on vases. The figures include the reclining god Dionysos, three goddesses (perhaps Hestia, Dione and Aphrodite), and the head of a horse of the goddess Selene.
