metope

According to the building records, the metope sculptures date to the years 446-440 BC.

Metope is also the name of the daughter of King Echetus.

The frieze comes without the Doric triglyph and metope.

These mutules were aligned above each triglyph and each metope.

One daughter, the nymph Metope was wed to the river Asopus.

Ismene was also a daughter of the river-god Asopus by Metope.

Five others, based upon the Greek metope (a sculpture in deep relief that came in a rectangular frame), make up the whole show.

The metope below depicts battle scenes.

She may or may not be identical to Metope, consort of the river god Sangarius.

"Metope" might refer to the following:

The spaces between the triglyphs contained metope (architecture)s, sometimes painted or decorated with relief sculpture.

Some offer features of clear Greek influence, such as pediments, metope and triglyph entablatrures, and capitals.

Pelagon or Pelasgus, son of the river-god Asopus by Metope.

This particular myth is depicted on a metope at Temple C at Selinus.

Metope (wife of Asopus)

Metope (architecture)

In one case, lowering a sculptured metope brought adjoining masonary crashing to the ground, scattering fine masses of marble among the ruins.

The entablature of the pedimented porch has a frieze with a metope in the style of the Brothers Adam.

Metope describes his music as "seeming to long for a transformation of their digital being into flesh, and that by bit reduction they attempt to imitate life".

Moreover they are provincial and inferior in quality to the vase-paintings; but the colouring is the same and on one metope there is similar overlapping.

In Greek mythology Korkyra was the daughter of the Asopos river and the nymph Metope.

On metope 29, features of the mature Classical style can be traced on the face and the dress of the Lapith woman.

The metope is the earliest I know in monumental art, but the splendid little cup with Theseus and Sinis (fig. 99) anticipates it.

The metope of the temple was probably decorated, since remnants of reliefs featuring Achilles and Memnon were found in the ancient ruins.

The names of these elements still comprise the usual vocabulary for discussion: the pediment, the metope, the frieze, the caryatid, the quadriga, acroteria, etc.
