Summary edit

Description
Nederlands: De metopen van het Parthenon waren de eerste architecturale sculpturen die aan het Parthenon werden bevestigd. De Centauromachie, of het gevecht met de Centauren, is een favoriet onderwerp omdat het volgens de Atheners een metafoor is voor de strijd tussen beschaving en barbarij. De Centaur domineert het beeld en geeft de indruk de overwinnaar te zijn. De slag die hij op de linkerdij ontvangt is echter van die aard dat hij buiten de strijd gebracht wordt. Zuid metope 1.
English: The metopes of the Parthenon were the first architectural sculptures to be fixed on the Parthenon during its construction. The Centauromachy, the battle of the Centaurs, is a favourite subject of the Athenians because it depicts metaphorically the struggle between civilisation and barbarism. The Centaur dominates the scene and gives the impression of being the victor. The blow, however, that he receives on the left thigh where the hole made by the spear of his Greek opponent is preserved, is certainly serious. Like corner metope 32 on the north side, corner metope 1 on the south side is the work of a great artist. South metope 1.
