The style of the drapery

  1. The subtle yet powerful drapery effects are very similar to the drapery of the goddesses on the pediments of the Parthenon,
  2. particularly the wind-flattened fabric on Iris’s torso on the west pediment,

  3. and the deep, flowing folds of the peplos emphasizing the goddess Artemis’ stride on the east pediment.
