[edit] Apollo?
First paragraph:
In classical mythology, quadrigas were the vehicles of the gods; Apollo was often depicted driving his quadriga across the heavens, bringing daylight with him and dispersing the darkness of night.
I'm no scholar of classic greco-roman lit, but wasn't in Helios that guided the sun-quadriga across the sky? This talk page is pretty barren, and I could probably just make the change, but I would like some confirmation from someone more knowledgable than I.

- Well, probably not literally in classical mythology, where Apollo and Helios are still separate...but in later Greek, and especially Roman, mythology, they are conflated into one deity. Adam Bishop 22:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

There is no link no disambig, no mention at all of the company called Quadriga.85.227.226.235 (talk) 14:18, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Restored to Original State?
Has the Brandenburg Quadriga really been restored to its original state? The photo shows an iron cross where the original olive wreath use to be. Is this an older photo, or has the Quadriga only been restored to its iron cross incarnation? (i.e. NOT original state) Tmangray (talk) 18:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- I see that the photo is dated 2006, therefore I edited the text accordingly. Tmangray (talk) 21:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Are these all quadrigas?
The definition requires 4 horses to draw the chariot. Yet is appears that some of these "quadrigas" are 2-horsed chariots accompanied by 2 additional horses on each site. Ekem (talk) 00:00, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
