ὥσπερ γὰρ ἵππος εὐγενὴς: Vit. Sophist. 2. 23. 4 “καὶ εἶδον ἄνδρα παραπλήσιον τῷ Σοφοκλείῳ ἵππῳ, νωθρὸς γὰρ ὑφ᾽ ἡλικίας δοκῶν νεάζουσαν ὁρμὴν ἐν ταῖς σπουδαῖς ἀνεκτᾶτο”. Equally famous was the “Ἰβύκειος ἵππος” (Plat. Parm. 137 A); Ibycus fr. 2. 3 (Bergk), “ἦ μὰν τρομέω νιν” (the Love-god) “ἐπερχόμενον”, | “ὥστε φερέζυγος ἵππος ἀεθλοφόρος ποτὶ γήραϊ ἀέκων” | “σὺν οχεσφι θοοις ἐς ἅμιλλαν ἔβα”.
