The depiction of the fighting begins here with the great mother goddess of Asia Minor, Rhea/Cybele.
With bow and arrow she rides into battle on a lion.
On the left can be seen the eagle of Zeus holding a bundle of lightning bolts in his claws.
Next to Rhea, three of the immortals fight with a mighty, bull-necked Giant.
The first, a goddess, has not been identified; she is followed by Hephaistos, who raises a two-headed hammer aloft.
He is followed by another unidentified, kneeling god who thrusts a spear into the body.

Next come the gods of the heaven.
Eos, goddess of the dawn, rides sidesaddle into battle.
She pulls back her horse and is armed with a torch which she thrusts forward.
She is followed by Helios, who rises up from the ocean with his quadriga and enters the battle armed with a torch.
His target is a Giant standing in his way.
He has rolled over another Giant.
Theia follows, amidst her children.
She is the mother of the day and night stars.
Next to her mother and with her back to the viewer, the moon goddess Selene rides on her mule over a Giant.

In the last third of the south frieze an unidentified young god, possibly Aither, is fighting.
He is holding in a stranglehold a Giant with snake legs, human body, and the paws and head of a lion.
The next god is obviously elderly.
It is supposed that he is Uranus.
On his left is his daughter Themis, goddess of justice.
At the end (or beginning, depending how the frieze is viewed) is the Titan Phoibe with a torch and her daughter Asteria with a sword.
Both are accompanied by a dog.
