In this paper it is accepted that the entire Parthenon, including the frieze, was intended to make a statement at once religious as well as political, but the view that the Eponymous Heroes of Attica are depicted on the east frieze is disputed. The figures often identified as these heroes may have actually represented the athlothetai, prominent officials who were closely connected with the Panathenaia of fifth-century Athens, and in whose ranks Pericles himself was enrolled. The paper thus reinforces the theory that the frieze was indeed meant to make a pointed reference to contemporary Athens
