Frieze from the Parthenon--Part of the Elgin Marbles


It is thought that this section inspired Keat's Ode on a Grecian Urn:   
             
                                      "...Who are these coming to the sacrifice?

                                          Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,"
