On the acropolis of Athens, there are a large number of votive images dedicated to Athena, the goddess of the city, in various materials, including marble, terracotta, bronze, relief and vase painting. Among these votive images of Athena, most are depicted in an upright pose, facing frontally towards viewers or showing her profile (e.g. the bronze Athena Promachos (figure 1)); some of them are captured in the middle of an action (e.g. Athena in the Gigantomachy on the pediment of the Parthenon (fg. 2)). However, the so-called Athena Endoios is a statue of Athena represented in a sitting position. Although the seated position is not uncommon in reliefs, as in the case of Athena in the eastern frieze (fg. 3) and in the metopes of the Parthenon (fg. 3), the so-called Athena Endoios is the only marble statue of Athena sitting on the acropolis in history. (Mylonopoulos, The Acropolis of Athens in the 6th and 5th Century BCE, Lecture Notes at Columbia University, March 31) Found on the north slope of the acropolis beneath the Erechtheion in 1821, the so-called statue of Athena Endoios is made of island marble and it is usually dated around 530-20 BC (Catalogue, Acropolis Museum) Due to long exposure in the open air and the destruction of wars, Athena's head, forearms and the source of the left foot have been completely lost, while much of the decorative pattern engraving on his kolpos, his right foot, the left side of the chair, and much of the edge of the heavy base are worn or damaged. Despite these damages, based on the gorgoneion on her breast and on the aegis, we can easily identify her with Athena. on each shoulder one can still observe four bundles of pearly hair or engraved in a "zigzag", which follow the curve of the goddess' breasts. The shoulders are broad... half the paper... ltiple types of transformations on a statue. After all, the history of art is a story about transformation and how to merge different transformations into a category and style of novel. Works Cited1. Pausanias and James George Frazer.
