The close punctuation would lend grace and dignity to every element of the sentence and the sculpture: “The Parthenon Marbles include an 80-meter frieze depicting the Great Panathenaia, the ancient Greek feast in honor of the goddess Athena; the muscled body of an ancient Greek river god lounging in midair; and voluptuous female figures.”

Close punctuation is not meant as a guide to stops and starts, like Dickens’s and Melville’s commas.

That’s not what close punctuation is about.
