Attic Red-Figure Cup Type B Fragment, 515-500 BC. Additional Info: Two nude boys race their horses on the outside of this drinking cup. The horses are depicted with their front legs well off the ground and their bodies stretched forward, conveying their swift speed. The riders, in keeping with the pace, seem to barely hold on to the reins. They lean backward, their long hair flying behind in the breeze. A mazelike meander marks the ground beneath the horses, and the pillars probably represent the race's start and finish lines. On the opposite side of the cup is a fragmentary image of a footrace. One runner stretches forward, his right leg and arm behind him.
