Will has been asked to respond to this excerpt from A Short Walk around the Pyramids and through the World of Art by Philip Isaacson.The temple is called the Parthenon, and the horse was part of a group of figures made especially for its east pediment, a large stone triangle fitted just under the roof. The Parthenon, high on a hill, catches the first light of morning. The carvers wanted the sight of that golden light washing across the horse and a line of other gods to be unforgettable.
