MONUMENTS ILLUSTRATING THE HORSE-RACE. 281 
with tripods as prizes.’ A fine example of five nude horse-racers also 
appears on a vase pictured in the Daremberg-Saglio Dictionary.2. Here 
one has fallen from his horse and is being dragged by the bridle. 
A boy ona galloping horse is shown on a terra-cotta relief from Thera. 
On a funerary marble relief from Sicily, now in the Museo Gregoriano, 
Rome, a rider is represented urging his horse on with a whip.4 An 
Athenian relief shows victorious ephebes leading horses,® while another 
from Athens shows a mounted boy.* Horsemen ue Athenian 
knights appear on many slabs of the Parthenon frieze,’ either mounted 
or standing by their horses. 
The inscribed base of Onatas found on the Akropolis seems to have 
borne the statue of a horse-racer.2 The bronze statue of Isokrates at 
Athens, which represented him as a ais keAnTifwr, is mentioned by the 
pseudo-Plutarch.? A bronze statuette in Athens from Dodona rep- 
resents an ephebe on a galloping horse.!®° A statue in the Palazzo Or- 
landi in Florence represents a horse-rider. Inthe Akropolis Museum 
there are two monuments which we should mention in this connection. 
One is the lower part of the statue of a nude rider on horseback, the 
mutilated horse being represented as pawing the ground with its fore- 
foot. Closely resembling it in scale and finish, though more developed 
in style, is another fragmentary statue of a horse without a rider, the 
latter probably to be understood as standing in front of the horse, as in 
some of the riders pictured on the Parthenon frieze. The two are good 
examples of pre-Persian Attic sculpture.” A later example is the small 
bronze statuette of an ephebe represented as a horseman (the horse is 
lacking) discovered recently at the French excavations at Volubilis in 
Morocco. This almost perfectly preserved work has been referred to
