Enter the girls (five yards to the left, #61), the heart of the procession. Dressed in
pleated robes, they shuffle past the parade marshals, carrying incense burners and jugs of
wine and bowls to pour out an offering to the thirsty gods.
The procession culminates (#35) in the presentation of the robe to Athena. A man and
a child fold the robe for the goddess while the rest of the gods look on. There are Zeus
and Hera (#29), the king and queen of the gods, seated, enjoying the fashion show and
wondering what length hemlines will be this year.

al. Bold new ideas are exploding simultaneously around the world. Socrates, Con-
fucius, Buddha, and others are independently discovering a nonmaterial, unseen or-

from nature and different from the other animals.
