3 Goddesses

From the classical period comes a work of art known as "3 Goddesses", created about 435 BC.
 
These were once located on the east pediment, or triangular area at the top of the face of a classical building, of the Parthenon.They were a part of the frieze, which was all the sculptures on the pediment. They are a little bit larger than life, and to make this the models wpre wet clothes that hugged the body so that the sculpture could see everything better and show more detail. These goddesses are supposed to be commemorating the birth of Athena.
