Three Goddesses. From the east pediment of the Parthenon, Athens, which showed the birth of goddess Athena from the head of her father Zeus. The sculptures that represented the actual scene are lost. Only some of the figures ranged on either side of the lost central group survive. They include these three goddesses, who were seated to the right of centre. They are perhaps, from left to right, Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home, Dione, and her daughter Aphrodite. However, another suggestion is that the two figures on the right are the personification of the Sea (Thalassa) in the lap of the Earth (Gaia). Close-up. GR 1816,0610.97.
