Shield of Heracles
Heracles's swift black-maned chariot horse, named and asked to be skillfully wheeled by Iolaus.
But, as you have shown your skill at other times, so now also wheel the great black-maned horse Arion about every way, and help me as you may be able.
Iliad
A divinely-descended horse belonging to Adrastos, cited by Nestor as a standard of speed.
Therefore, my dear son, mind well what you are about, for if you can be first to round the post there is no chance of any one giving you the go-by later, not even though you had Adrastos' horse Arion behind you horse which is of divine race - or those of Laomedon, which are the noblest in this country.
