The pediments are triangular spaces located at the top of the east and west sides of the temple's roof. They house colossal statues at their center, with themes drawn from Greek mythology. The west pediment illustrates the dispute between godess Athena and god Poseidon over the patronage of the land of Attica, a legendary contest that ultimately ended in Athena's victory.
