West Pediment Description
The west pediment at the Temple of Zeus shows Zeus's son Apollo in the middle, intervening imperiously in the battle between Lapiths and Centaurs which flared up at the marriage of Theseus's friend Peirithoos with Deidameia. Here the sculptor has broken the scene up into groups of two and three, whose violent movement is in sharp contrast to the tense tranquillity of the east pediment.
