26. The sculpture from the centre of the EAST pediment was destroyed when an
apse was built at the east end, to convert the Parthenon into a Christian church.
We know the pediment showed the birth of Athena, who sprang fully grown and
armed from the head of her father Zeus after Hephaistos struck him with an axe.
The centerpiece must have comprised these three and probably Hera.
The surviving sculptures are of other gods witnessing this event, and of horses
drawing the chariots of the Sun
(far left) and Moon (far right).
