Automedon with the Horses of Achilles (1868) oil on canvas painting by Henri Regnault (1843–1871), located in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. The artist said, "…the horses, aware that their master [Achilles] is taking them into combat, and that this combat… will cost him his life, struggle and wrest with the groom [Automedon] …I wanted to give the picture a foretaste of disaster."
