The most famous and important sculpture at Delphi it was created directly after the Persian Wars ca. 474 - 470 BC. It celebrates victory in a chariot race by Polyzalos, brother of Gelon and Hieron, the tyrants of Syracuse. To immortalise his victory, Polyzalos dedicated to the Delphi sanctuary a large-scale sculpture group of a four-horse chariot, to which this statue belonged. His eyes, made of semi-precious stones, have a magnetic quality and convey what the Greeks of the Classical period referred to as ethos and balance. Delphi Archaeological Museum.
