		But on the west face of the parthenon, facing the "setting" sun we see a battle between Athena and Poseidon for control of Attica and the metope on this face depicts the "amazonomachy".
		I suspect that the south facing metope's "centauromachy" and north facing metope's "iliopersis" periods are coming to an end.
		Perhaps in freeing mortal women from their duty to Athena to fabricate the peplos at home (east frieze), we have unleashed the amazonomachy.

	The Nature Of The Amazons
		Only some posterity was left assimilated in various peoples, the same Ancient Greeks who were formed from the rest of the Amazonian people and their conquerors - Achaeans.
		The theme of the former fight against Amazons, named Amazonomachy, was very popular in later Ancient Greek art and epos, which evidently stemmed from the eulogies of the conquerors.
		According to a legend, after Achaean hero Achilles killed Amazons' queen Penthesilea in combat, and pulled off her helmet (the image right portrays Achilles but not Penthesilea in such a helmet) he saw her beautiful face and fell in love with her at once, and raped her corpse after that.

		From the Results of Excavations Conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, this volume presents the most ambitious sculpture program known among theaters on the Greek Mainland, and indeed one of the more elaborate decorative schemes among published theatres of the Roman Empire.
		The friezes - the Gigantomachy, the Amazonomachy, and the Labors of Herakles - are concerned with three traditional subjects.
		They are presented each in turn with a discussion of its position in Greek art and a stylistic analysis of the frieze, followed by a catalogue of the pieces themselves, arranged as far as possible in the proposed sequence of relief slabs.

		The Attic red-figure volute-krater attributed to Euthymides discovered at Morgantina in 1958 is here fully published for the first time.
		The fl-bodied vase, decorated on the neck only, displays the Amazonomachy of Herakles on the obverse and a symposium on the reverse.
		The actions of the symposiasts indicate a temporal progression from the initial toasts to the final effects of overindulgence, a composition that is unique in Attic vase painting.

		Pausanias (Guide to Greece I.xvii.2–4) saw three or four paintings in the Sanctuary of Theseus, built on the south side of the Agora after Kimon had brought Theseus’ bones back from Skyros (474/3 BC): an Amazonomachy, a Centauromachy, Theseus Recovering the Ring of Minos from the Sea and perhaps Theseus in the Underworld with Peirithoos.
