Abstract
The uses of the horse in Greece are reviewed from the Mycenaean until Late Classical times in order to trace its development as a military weapon. Besides, the social projection of the use of the horse in Greece is also addressed, as well as the development of equestrian contests which served also as a means of stressing the social status of the leading groups within the Greek poleis. In a final chapter the possible reflections of the uses of the horse in Greece in the Iberian world are also considered, although the possible relationships are confined mainly to iconographical loans from Greek prototypes to some Iberian artistic manifestations.
