Summary[edit]

Description
English: Attic Black-figure Amphora attributed to the Swing Painter, ca. 540-530 BCE depicting a warrior and his charioteer mounted on a quadriga, or 4-horse chariot.

The original image was uploaded by user:Pharos from the Met Museum of Art Public Domain images online, with the following description: A soldier bidding farewell to his parents was a popular subject in vase-paintings. Here he has mounted a chariot drawn by four horses; and his charioteer, dressed in a long white and red chiton, prepares to drive him to the battlefield. The great warriors of Homer's Iliad were conducted to and from combat in this way.

This version of the image has been slightly cropped, and the background has been changed to solid white.
Date between circa 540 and circa 530 BCE
