What is the sculpture and its representation?

Apollo with Battling Lapiths and Centaurs is the name of the sculpture. It comes from the west pediment of the Temple of Zeus in Olympia and is not documented in the city's Archaeological Museum.

It was created approximately 460 BCE and hence belongs to the Classical period of Greek history.

The sculpture depicts the legendary narrative of the Lapiths and Centaurs' combat, in which centaurs who were invited to the Lapiths' wedding became incapable and kidnapped the bride Hippodameia.

The wedding guests were abused by Centaurs, and a conflict ensued, in which Lapiths triumphed. Apollo is seen here peering down on the combat and exhibiting his might with a swiftly extending arm.
