Légende

Southwestern side of the Parthenon, Acropolis of Athens. The 32nd metope of The Annunciation (the seated figure on the right interpreted as the Virgin Mary and the figure standing on the left as the Archangel Gabriel). It was the only metopa not destroyed by the invading army or Alaric because they could confuse the image depicted. The angel is Hebe and the Virgin Mary her mother, Hera. Classical Era. Greece.
