James,
Granted, I may be overinterpreting, but let's remember that Athena
was also a war-goddess. I think what I've said about the importance of
horses for military victory and conquest fits in nicely with the horse
being a gift to Athena, which is something I had in the back of my mind
all
I seem to remember seeing a vase, or sherd of a vase, in West Berlin, as
it was then, in which Athena is fashioning a horse. I haven't got LIMC
beside me at the moment, but someone may know what I'm talking about.
