The Parthenon Frieze. Block N XII
Image
Apobates (47), with his panoply of cuirass, helmet and shield, has leapt from the chariot and stands with his foot firmly on a rock. It is evident that he has finished the course; indeed the charioteer (46) is straining to rein in the horses. He wears a long chiton with overfold and crossed bands. Between him and the horses stands a marshal (45) wearing himation and sandals. He has turned back (right) and with raised right hand he gives the signal that the race is finished.
