but that they formed a part of the procession on 
that side, as well as on the south, cannot be

Athens, has engraved a fragment of one of them. 
No. 63. A group of two of the Fates, from 
the east pediment of the Parthenon, on which 
was represented the birth of Minerva. Another 
figure in this collection (No. 67) is supposed to 
have been one of the Fates, and to have formed 
a part of the same group. 
No. 64. The upper part of the torso of Nep¬ 
tune, one of the principal figures in the west 
pediment of the Parthenon. The subject of the 
sculptures represented on this pediment was the 
contest between Minerva and Neptune for the 
honour of giving name to the city of Athens. 
No. 65. The upper part of the figure of Hy¬ 
perion rising out of the sea. His arms are stretch¬ 
ed forward, in the act of holding the reins of his 
coursers. This figure which represents the ap¬ 
proach of day, is from the east pediment of the 
Parthenon, where it occupied the angle on the 
left of the spectator. 
No. 66. The heads of two of the horses be¬ 
longing to the car of Hyperion. They are just 
emerging from the waves, and seem impatient 
to run their course. From the east pediment of 
the Parthenon. 
No. 67- A female figure, in a sitting posture, 
also from the east pediment of the Parthenon. 
This is supposed to be one of the sister Fates,
