The next group is composed of two Persians on foot and a Greek. In the centre is a wounded Persian, who has been forced down on his left knee and extends his arms forward in entreaty to the Greek, who drags him along, grasping the head of the Persian with his left hand. The right hand of the Greek must have held either a spear or a sword. On the right the other Persian turns back to defend his fallen comrade against the Greek. Both arms are raised to strike, and probably wielded a battle-axe. At his left side hangs a quiver. On the extreme right is a Greek moving to the right in pursuit of a flying Persian of whom only the leg and part of the drapery round the loins remain. The ground on which this scene takes place is rocky.--_Elgin Coll._ Pentelic marble; height, 1 foot 5-1/2 inches; length, 5 feet 10 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 158 (258); Ross, pl. 12, o; _Mus.

[Sidenote: =424.=] The first pair of combatants on the left are a Persian, who has fallen on his right knee, and who holds up a shield in the form of a crescent, on his left arm to defend himself, and his antagonist, who advances from the right. Next is a combat between a Greek on foot and a mounted Persian. The latter draws back his right hand, which must have been armed with a spear aimed at the Greek advancing from the left. The horse of the Persian rears as if to strike down with his forefeet the left arm of the Greek, which is thrust forward, protected by his shield. A dead Persian lies on the ground. Behind the mounted Persian is a comrade, hastening to the left, and pursued by a Greek of whom nothing remains except part of his shield and of the drapery round his loins. This closes the scene on the right.--_Elgin Coll._ Pentelic marble; height, 1 foot 5-1/2 inches; length, 6 feet 1-1/4 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 159 (257); Ross, pl. 12, fig. g; _Mus.

[Sidenote: =425.=] A plaster cast from one of the slabs now in position on the temple. On the left is a mutilated group representing a Greek warrior turning to assist a comrade who has fallen on his right knee. Next is a Greek moving forward to pursue a mounted Persian who is flying to the right. On the extreme right a Persian on foot flies in the same direction. A slain Persian lies in the foreground. The position of this slab on the temple at the south-east angle is fixed by the relief on its return face which is part of the composition of the eastern front. This return is not given in the cast here described. Height, 1 foot 5-1/2 inches; length, 3 feet 11-1/4 inches. Ross, pl. 12, fig. a; Overbeck, _Gr.
