Acollection of sculptures, the most important of which originally decorated the pediments of the Temple of Aphaea in the island of Aegina, built about 475 B.C. Discovered in 1811, they are preserved in the Glyptothek at Munich. They have given their name to a style of Greeksculpture of the period of transition between the archaic and the fully developed.
