Depicted in this drawing of the central figures of the West Gable or Pediment of the Temple of the goddess Aphaia on the island of Aegina. The ancient Greeks associated Aphaia with fertility and agriculture. In time, she came to be identified with the goddess Athena and also with the goddess Artemis. Here Aphaia is seen standing above a fallen Greek warrior, most likely Ajax.
