Actually, this is the Eastern Pediment of the Parthenon.
It is refering to the birth of our patron goddess Athená out of the head of our godfather Zeus.
The rest of the deities are siting at the left and right in harmonic order, starting with the chariot of god Helios at the left and ending with the chariot of goddess Selene at the right.
