Description
English: Metopes of the Treasury of Sicyon at Delphi. This recurrence of a long series of square fields for occupation well suited the genius and the habits of the sculptor. As subjects the artist took the successive exploits of some hero such as Heracles or Theseus, or the contemporary groups of a battle.
Date as early as the first half of the 6th century
