Overall: Perhaps the original Athena Parthenos statue can be mentioned in the hook, ie. something like "... that the Varvakeion Athena is considered the most faithful reproduction of Athena Parthenos, the chryselephantine statue which stood in the Parthenon?"

How about

• ALT1: "... that the Varvakeion Athena is considered the most faithful reproduction of the chryselephantine statue of Athena Parthenos which stood in the Parthenon?"

"Athena Parthenos" is strictly speaking an aspect of the goddess, not just the name of that statue. Mangoe (talk) 19:45, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

• Yes, ALT1 is better. Good to go. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 19:58, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
