West Metopes #7-8 (Amazonomachy) In situ (Copyright A. Nicgorski, 1998)

The 14 metopes on the west side are in a sadly battered state having been chiseled down in the Early Christian era when the Parthenon was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Metopes #7-8 are hopelessly worn and presently unreadable.
