<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/pelegrino/55596352810/" title="Parthenon. West frieze. Block 10 (X)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55596352810_8e70607c5e_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Parthenon. West frieze. Block 10 (X)" /></a></p>

<p>Block X depicts two riders fully galloping to the viewer’s left. The preceding horseman is dressed in short chiton and a tight cuirass whereas the rear rider wears a short chiton, chlamys, alopeke over his head and embades. He pets his horse on its mane as the animal seems like it's flying with all four of his hooves in the air. The horses’ bridles and reins were once rendered in bronze. Many researchers believe that this block was curved by Agorakritos, pupil and collaborator of Pheidias, who participated in the sculptural decoration of the Parthenon. Acr. 20024. Pentelic Marble. Workshop of Pheidias.  442-438 BC. Acropolis Museum, Athens.</p>

<p>Block XXXVI depicts four riders galloping to the viewer’s left. The dominant figure of the rider in the middle of the block who turns his head toward the viewer overlaps, not only, with the two preceding horsemen, but also, with the last one. He is clad in a sleeveless chiton belted around his waist. The last rider, dressed in a chiton with long sleeves, fixes a band around his head. All horses are depicted galloping, with the exception, of the animal in the middle of the scene which jumps and speeds ahead in an attempt, to surpass the other horses. The horses’ reins and bridles were added, made out of bronze. The forelegs of the first horse as well as the leg of his rider are shown on the preceding Block XXXV (Ακρ. 861), while in front of the last rider’s horse one can see the forelegs of the next horseman’s steed that was depicted on the following Block XXXVII (ΜΑ ΑΝΤ. 028), kept today in the British Museum in London. Acr. 862. Pentelic Marble. Workshop of Pheidias.  442-438 BC. Acropolis Museum, Athens.</p>
