Marble Scenes from the Parthenon

By N.S. Gill, About.com Guide

Selene is the Greek moon goddess and the sister of the sun god Helios. Helios drives a horse-drawn chariot across the sky by day, while Selene draws one by night.

This is a popular sculpture showing the lead horse of Selene. It is from the Parthenon Sculptures at the British Museum.
