This concise and beautifully illustrated book demonstrates the many roles played by the horse in the lives of the Greeks, from its place in myth and early history to its significance as a marker of social status and its use in warfare, transportation, games, and festivals. From their arrival in Greece, at the start of the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2000 B.C.), horses were a powerful symbol of rank. Bridles and other horse trappings are often found in graves, alongside vases depicting horses grazing, racing, and parading. Sculpture is also full of horse imagery, from monumental equestrian statues (a bronze leg and gilded sword are all that remain from one of these) to tiny terracotta figurines, perhaps the toys of a child. As well as presenting many examples of horse imagery found in the Agora, the author reports on recent finds near the ancient hipparcheion, the stables of the Athenian cavalry.

I was a bit disappointed with this book. It’s in fantastic condition, but I thought it would have more historical context. It’s more of a children's book than a comprehensive read about horses. Still, my niece liked it!

A Wonderful Book for Horse Lovers
I bought this picture book for my daughter, who loves horses. The illustrations are beautiful, and it really helps bring the history of the Athenian Agora to life. She reads it over and over, which says a lot!

Came with a Damaged Cover
I was excited about this book, but it arrived with a dented cover. The pages are fine, and the content is lovely, but the damaged cover makes it hard to display. I guess that's what you get with shipping.

Great Condition, but Lacks Depth
The book arrived in like-new condition, which was impressive. However, I was hoping for more in-depth information about horses in ancient Athens. It’s pretty basic, but the pictures are lovely!
