Statue of the goddess Athena, the chief deity of the Parthenon. The original, completed by Phidias in 438 BC, has been lost, but her appearance can be reconstructed to some extent from several small Roman copies and ancient records. The goddess Athena stands upright facing forward, supporting a shield and spear in her left hand, and holding Nike, the goddess of victory, in her right palm. She wears a tassel of snakes and an aegis with a Gorgon's neck on her robe, and on her head she wears a helmet decorated with Pegasus and a sphinx. The front of the shield depicts gods fighting the giants, and the back depicts Greeks fighting the Amazons. On the inside of the shield, the snake of the Acropolis is coiled, and the birth of Pandora is depicted on the base. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
パルテノンの主神である女神アテナの像。フェイディアスによって前438年に完成された原作は失われたが,ローマ時代のいくつかの小さな模刻像および古代の記録などから,その姿をある程度まで復元することができる。女神アテナは正面を向いて直立し,左手で盾と槍を支え,右掌に勝利の女神ニケを載せ,衣の上に蛇の総(ふさ)とゴルゴンの首のついたアイギスを当て,頭にはペガソスとスフィンクスで飾られた冑をかぶっていた。表に巨人族と戦う神々,裏にアマゾン族と戦うギリシア人を描いた盾の内側には,アクロポリスの蛇がとぐろを巻き,台座にはパンドラの誕生が表されていた。
