Images of ancient Hellenic art depicting the horse. The love and admiration of horses came from the religious myths which were filled with stories of the gods and goddesses riding horses, chariots, or giving horses as gifts to mortals. Poseidon (god of the sea) was associated with the horses. Horses symbolized wealth throughout all of Greek history. They were used mainly for the aristocratic pastimes of hunting and racing in peacetime and for cavalry service during wartime. Eight breeds were cultivated in ancient Greece: Thessaly, Skyros, Pindos, Pineias, Andravidas, Crete (Messara), Ainu, and Zakynthos.
