Parthenon

Birth of Athena (detail). Hera, Aphrodite, Eros, Ares.

Reconstruction of the east pediment of the Parthenon according to drawing by Karl Schwerzek (1896).

Siblings, children and other family members of Zeus are witnesses to the birth of Athena. The majority of them look astonished at the new goddess.

We can see the figures possibly representing from right to left Hera sitting on her royal throne and the group of three: Aphrodite, Ares and the winged boy Eros who, according to a very popular version of the myth, was their son.
