Classify Iniohos of Delphi (HNΙΟΧΟΣ)

[wvwvw]

Eniochos is without doubt the highlight of the Delphi museum. Eniochos in Greek refers to the man who holds the reins and the metal statue of Eniochos depicts a Charioteer of the Delphic Area.

The statue of Eniochos was found in Delphi, as part of a bigger complex consisting of a chariot with four horses, of which only fragments were found. The statue is 180cm tall and consists of six different parts. It was dedicated to God Apollo by the Tyrant Polyzalos, after his victory at the Pythian Games in 478 BC.

The detailed craft of the Eniochos Statue impresses both archaeologists and visitors; the details on the face and the body give the impression that the statue is actually moving, during a chariot race. The most remarkable detail is his eyes, made of onyx, which captivate the visitors. It is said that wherever you stand in the room you can see the Eniochos watching you.
