caryatids

He removed 1 of the 6 caryatids from the Erechtheion, for example; the 5 that remained in Greece are still extant.

Tasteful wooden nude caryatids on the side.

To protect them, the remaining 5 caryatids were moved indoors in 1979 (replaced by replicas), and the last 20-meter segment of frieze remaining on the Parthenon was moved indoors in 1993.

The Acropolis Museum [1] stores 5 of the 6 Erechtheion caryatids (the 6th is in London), as well as the portions of the Parthenon frieze that weren't removed by Lord Elgin.

The caryatids are currently arranged as a set of six, but with one spot empty, and the frieze is laid out as a full-sized display of the entire frieze, with the pieces that the museum possesses inserted into their correct place, and plaster casts used as placeholders for the missing parts.

Constellation Games, The Martian, Too Like the Lightning, Moving Mars, Nexus, Blue Remembered Earth,and The Caryatids are some hopeful SF that's come out recently that I recommend.

On the acropolis itself, the Erechtheion has replica caryatids, while the Parthenon is "bare" with no frieze or pediment.

Choi+Shine added: "Like the statues of Easter Island, it is envisioned that these one hundred and fifty foot tall, modern caryatids will take on a quiet authority, belonging to their landscape yet serving the people, silently transporting electricity across all terrain, day and night, sunshine or snow."

You might also consider some of Bruce Sterling's stuff, Distraction, Holy Fire, and The Caryatids.

I don't know if it's true but a guide at the Athens museum told us that it is not possible to match sculptures like Venus de Milo or the Caryatids.
