Pherenikos
Pherenikos (Greek: Φερένικος; Latin: Pherenicus) was an Ancient Greek chestnut racehorse victorious at the Olympic and Pythian Games in the 470s BC. Pherenikos, whose name means "victory-bearer", was "the most famous racehorse in antiquity". Owned by Hieron I, tyrant of Syracuse, Pherenikos is celebrated in the victory odes of both Pindar and Bacchylides.
==Career==
In ''Pythian Ode III'', Pindar recalls "the crowns of the Pythian Games" which Pherenikos had won previously; according to the scholiasts or ancient commentators, Hieron was victorious in the single horse race at Delphi during the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh iterations of the games, in 482 and 478 BC; alternatively "crowns" may simply function as a poetic plural.〔 In 476 BC, Hieron was victorious in the single horse race at Olympia; this victory is celebrated by Pindar in ''Olympian I'' and Bacchylides in ''Ode 5'', with Pherenikos named and prominent in both; the date is confirmed by the list of Olympian victors in Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 222, which includes a further Olympic victory for Hieron in 472, also mentioned in the scholia.〔 Whether Pherenikos was the winning horse also on this last occasion is unknown; if first victorious in 482, it would suggest a long career, but the shape of the course may have called for horses with experience as well as speed.〔
