On the right, a Centaur, who has a shield and lion's skin, tramples down a Lapith, whose hands are stretched out as if to keep the Centaur away. The Lapith is fully armed, having a cuirass above a chiton, a chlamys, and boots. He has no shield, but perhaps that of the Centaur may be supposed to have been captured from him, as no other Centaur is thus armed on the Phigaleian frieze, the Theseion, or the Parthenon. Length, 4 feet 1-1/2 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 3; _Mus. Marbles_, IV., pl. 3; Stackelberg, pl. 23. [Sidenote: =523.=] Apollo and Artemis coming to the aid of the Lapiths. Artemis drives a chariot drawn by two stags; she wears the chiton, and large diploïdion crossed by bands, which is the dress of charioteers on the Parthenon sculptures. Her right foot is on the ground and she appears to be checking the chariot, while Apollo stands at its side and draws his bow. The bow, arrow, and reins were added in bronze. The chariot is represented three-quarters to the front. Length, 3 feet 9-1/2 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 11; _Mus. Marbles_, IV., pl. 11; Stackelberg, pl. 19. [Sidenote: =524.=] Two Lapith women have taken refuge at the statue of a goddess, probably Artemis, as she is coming to their aid. One of the women stretches out her arms with a gesture of despairing entreaty. The other embraces the statue, which is a stiff archaic image wearing a polos; with her left hand she clings to her mantle which has been seized by the Centaur. The Centaur is attacked from behind by a Lapith who kneels on his back, has his left arm round the Centaur's neck, and is about to strike with the sword originally held in the right hand. On the right is a tree, with a lion's skin hanging from a bough. The appearance of a deity near his own image is not infrequent. (Cf. _Journ. of Hellen. Studies_, ix., pl. 1; Müller, _Denkmaeler_, pl. 44, fig. 206; _Arch. Zeit._, 1869, pl. 14.) The group of the Lapith and Centaur is composed like the Parthenon metope, No. 305. Length, 4 feet 6 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 10; _Mus. Marbles_, IV., pl. 10; Stackelberg, pl. 29. [Sidenote: =525.=] A Lapith and a Centaur in combat. The Lapith draws away to the left, and is about to throw a stone, while he stretches out his shield on his left arm. The Centaur rears up, and seems to be throwing a stone held in both hands. The Lapith has only a helmet and small chlamys. He also wore a metal sword belt. On the right of the slab, a woman holding a boy on her right arm, moves quickly to the left. With her left hand she holds a floating piece of her veil. Length, 4 feet 5 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 8; _Mus. Marbles_, IV., pl. 8; Stackelberg, pl. 20. [Sidenote: =526.=]
