A matronly figure (No. 39) is seated next to Dionysos, wearing a chiton, which is slipping off from the left shoulder, himation, cap and sandals. This figure is called Peitho by Michaelis and Peterson, on the ground that the worship of Peitho was associated with that of Aphroditè Pandemos (No. 40) on the south side of the Acropolis. Flasch with more probability makes this goddess Demeter, arguing that Peitho was not entitled to a place among the great Gods of Olympos, while Demeter is appropriately placed between Dionysos and Aphroditè. Flasch suggests that the right hand may have held an ear of corn. A hole shows that the object in question was made of bronze. [Sidenote: 40.] [Sidenote: 41.] The next figure (No. 40) most of which is only preserved in Carrey's drawing (Fig. 11), is unmistakably shown to be Aphroditè, by the winged boy Eros who stands at her knee. Aphroditè wears a chiton, himation, a cap, and to judge from Carrey's drawing a veil. She rests her left hand on the shoulder of Eros, extending her forefinger, as if pointing out some object in the procession to the boy. Eros (No. 41) carries a parasol which conveniently fills the space above his head and his wings. [Illustration: Fig. 11.--East frieze of the Parthenon, Nos. 39-41.] [Sidenote: 42-45.] On the right of the gods is a group of four figures corresponding to the five (Nos. 18-22) on the left. One of these (No. 43) is young and beardless; the rest are elderly, and all have staffs and himatia. No. 42 wears sandals. These four figures are leaning on their staffs, and three of them are looking towards the advancing procession, while the fourth (No. 45) turns his back to it and appears to be conversing with his companions. [Sidenote: 46.] [Sidenote: 47.] The next figure (No. 46) is an officer, more immediately concerned with the procession. It is evident from the way in which his head is thrown back and his arm raised that he is not addressing the group beside him, but is making a signal to some person at a considerable distance. He may be supposed to be making a signal to the southern half of the procession, and thus helps the spectator to keep the two parts connected together in his mind. The next figure (No. 47), a similar officer, stands facing the advancing maidens.
