Those who have held a different view have been the early travellers, such as Cyriac of Ancona, who described the subject of the frieze as 'Athenian victories in the time of Pericles,' and a few recent authors. Davidson (_The Parthenon Frieze_) sees in the frieze a representation of a Panhellenic assembly, which Pericles tried to collect at Athens without success. Weber and Boetticher held that the scene represented is the preparation and rehearsal, rather than the procession itself. C. Petersen thought that different festivals are represented on different sides[*] (cf. Michaelis, p. 205). *: The frieze of the Parthenon records in sculpture the passionate delight with which Greeks, and more particularly Athenians (cf. Hel. _Aeth._, III. 1), regarded festal processions.
