ἡνί-οχος (ἡνία, ἔχω): holding the
reins, θεράπων, Il. 5.580; charioteer. The
charioteer usually stood at the left of the πρόμαχος. (Among the Assyrians, as shown by the cut, the
warrior, armed with a bow, had also a second attendant as
shield-bearer with himself on the chariot. The Egyptian monuments
represent only one warrior or triumphing king upon the war-chariot.)
