- Caption
- Detail of central scene in the east frieze of the Parthenon in Athens (438-432 BC), apparently depicting Athena wearing her sacred robe. Part of the Elgin Marbles displayed in the British Museum. The sacred robe (peplos) of Athena was brought to the Parthenon in procession during the Great Panathenaic Festival, held every four years. The robe was brought through Athens on a ship that moved on wooden rollers. Once on the Acropolis the peplos was dedicated to the ancient wood statue of Athena Polias.
