Pausanias on the Temple of Apollo (10.19.4)
"The carvings in the pediments are: Artemis, Leto, Apollo,
Muses, a setting Sun, and Dionysus together with the Thyiad
women. The first of them are the work of Praxias, an Athenian and a
pupil of Calamis, but the temple took some time to build, during
which Praxias died. So the rest of the ornament in the pediments
was carved by Androsthenes, like Praxias an Athenian by birth, but a
pupil of Eucadmus.
There are arms of gold on the architraves; the Athenians
dedicated the shields from spoils taken at the battle of Marathon,
and the Aetolians the arms, supposed to be Gallic, behind and on
the left. Their shape is very like that of Persian wicker shields."
