The single figure (No. 1) at the north-west angle is evidently a herald or marshal directing the march of the cavalry. In like manner Hippias, or, according to Aristotle, Hipparchos, was in the outer Cerameicos, "arranging how each part of the Panathenaic procession ought to go forward," when he was attacked by Harmodios and Aristogeiton. (Thuc. vi., 57; Aristotle, [Greek: Ath. pol.] ed. Kenyon, 18.) His right hand probably held a staff of office, as the bent fingers are not closed. This figure is repeated, in a plaster cast. Then follow two mounted figures (Nos. 2, 3); in the hair of No. 2 are holes in which probably a metal wreath was inserted. No. 4 raises both hands as if to open his horse's mouth for the insertion of the bit. Behind the horse stands a youth (No. 6), either the groom or attendant; his hands may have held a bridle. A bearded man (No. 5), probably a marshal, turns towards the youth as if addressing him. Then follow two more mounted figures (Nos. 7, 8), and a youth (No. 9), standing by his horse, and turning round to his mounted companion (No. 10), behind him. Next comes a horseman (No. 11), distinguished from all the figures in the frieze by his richly decorated armour. On his head is a crested helmet, on the crown of which is in relief an eagle with outstretched neck. A hole a little behind the temple shows where a wreath has been inserted. His body is protected by a cuirass, on the front of which is a Gorgon's head in relief, intended as a charm, to avert wounds from the most vital part; on the shoulder-straps are lions' heads, also in relief. Between the breast-plate and back-piece of the cuirass is an interval at the sides, which is protected by flexible scale armour ([Greek: thôrax lepidôtos]). Below the girdle are flaps (_pteryges_) made of leather covered with metal, which at the upper ends are united to the girdle. Under the cuirass appears a chiton without sleeves. The horse of No. 11 is one of the few on the frieze that have all four legs off the ground. (Cf. north, 91, 97; west, 19; south, 14, 30.) [Sidenote: 12.] No. 12 is on foot, and stoops forward, looking towards the procession advancing from the right. His left foot is raised on a rock, and he appears from the action of his arms to be tying his boot.
