Poseidon from the Parthenon

 

This frieze depicts Poseidon, Apollo, and Artemis in a council of the gods and originally appeared on the east end of the Parthenon. It is the only piece of the famous Elgin Marbles that remains in Greece - the Acropolis Museum in Athens - and was made around 440 BCE.
