ὁ δὲ θρόνος ποικίλος μὲν χρυσῷ καὶ λίθοις, ποικίλος δὲ καὶ ἐβένῳ τε καὶ ἐλέφαντί ἐστι·
The copular predicate is coordinated by the μεν...δε construction; ποικίλος agrees with θρόνος, while the dative groups express material/composition. The first ἐστίν is understood with the first μεν-clause and overt only at the end; ἐβένῳ is dative singular, coordinated with ἐλέφαντι.

καὶ ζῷά τε ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ γραφῇ μεμιμημένα καὶ ἀγάλματά ἐστιν εἰργασμένα.
The copular predicate has coordinated neuter plural subjects ζῷα and ἀγάλματα; μεμιμημένα and εἰργασμένα are perfect passive participles agreeing with them. γραφῇ is best read as a dative of means/manner with μεμιμημένα, though its exact construction is somewhat uncertain.

Νῖκαι μὲν δὴ τέσσαρες χορευουσῶν παρεχόμεναι σχῆμα κατὰ ἕκαστον τοῦ θρόνου τὸν πόδα, δύο δέ εἰσιν ἄλλαι πρὸς ἑκάστου πέζῃ ποδός.
The first clause is a verbless/participial description with Νῖκαι as the understood subject; the second clause has εἰσιν as root. The phrase κατὰ ἕκαστον τοῦ θρόνου τὸν πόδα is interpreted as locating the pose at each foot of the throne, though the construction is somewhat compressed.

The sentence has two coordinated predicates: ἐπίκεινται governs the dative ἑκατέρῳ and the genitive absolute-like description Θηβαίων ... ἡρπασμένοι, while κατατοξεύουσι is coordinated with Ἄρτεμις as a second plural subject; ὑπὸ σφιγγῶν is an agent phrase and ὑπὸ τὰς σφίγγας a locative phrase. The first ὑπό phrase modifies ἡρπασμένοι; the second modifies κατατοξεύουσι.
