Description
Detail of the Procession, from the Ionic frieze on the north side of the Parthenon. c. 447-432 BCE. Marble, height 41 3/4" (106 cm). British Museum, London

Processional frieze
This 525-foot-long frieze ran along the cella interior.
The underlying message was thought to be that the Athenians are a healthy, vigorous people, yet a new interpretation of the frieze is that this is a scene from mythological history.
