Welcome to The Horse in Ancient Greece. This web site is the result of approximately one month's study of classical and contemporary sources on the role of the horse in Ancient Greek civilization. Its purpose is to examine the horse's role in Ancient Greek mythology, society and art. On this web site, you will find various examinations and summaries of works from Classical and contemporary sources, as well as several examples and interpretations of Ancient Greek art depicting the horse. It is my hope that this site will leave you with a heightened interest in Classical and Equine Studies.
