Describe the irregularities found in the construction of the Parthenon and intentions behind these.

It is a grave stele marking the grave of a wealthy Athenian woman, Hegeso. Her father is named but not her mother, not unusual in fifth-century Athenian society. The scene shows the woman's secluded quarters in the Greek household. This is significant because the scene also provides insight into contemporary Greek social behavior. The slave girl attending Hegeso is not so much companion but rather possession in the same sense as the jewelry box and jewels. The jewelry box is also significant because it represents Hegeso's dowry. The entire scene illustrates patriarchal dominance and the current social norm of accepting slavery as normal and natural.
