A unique illustrated book, focusing on the significance of the
horse in ancient Greek culture Horses were revered in ancient
Greece as symbols of wealth, power, and status. On stunning black-
and red-figure vases, in sculpture, and in other media, Greek
artists depicted the daily care of horses, chariot and horseback
races, scenes of combat, and mythological horse-hybrids such as
satyrs and the winged Pegasus. This richly illustrated and
handsomely designed volume includes over 80 objects showing scenes
of ancient equestrian life. Essays by notable scholars of ancient
Greek art and archaeology explore the indelible presence and
significance horses occupied in numerous facets of ancient Greek
culture, including myth, war, sport, and competition, shedding new
light on horsemanship from the 8th through the 4th century BCE.
