OGCMA s.v. "Apollo"

Apollo in the center of the Lapithocentauromachy, west pediment Of Temple of Zeus at Olympia, ca. 475 BC

Amid the high-action scene of the lapithocentauromachy, which ensued upon the marriage of Pirithous and Hippodamia, Apollo stands majestically representing the rule of law and order like a divine umpire.
