War-chariots do not appear in any Egyptian monuments prior to the eighteenth dynasty.

Herodotus says that the Greeks learnt from the Libyans to yoke four horses to a chariot (iv. 189). It is, however, mentioned by Homer (Iliad, VIII. 185; Odyssey, XIII. 81). In the Assyrian chariots a spare horse was sometimes attached by a single inside trace to the chariot. The Lydians, it is said, had sometimes several poles to their chariots and horses between each.
