Apollo has his himation thrown over his right shoulder and stands firm, in a pose of minimal movement but maximum power. His right arm extends toward the figures of Peirithoos, Didameia, and Eurytion, in a gesture that establishes (or calls for the establishment of) order amidst the violence instigated by the beastly centaurs. His face, typical of the Severe style of the early Classical era, reflects the austere serenity and seriousness of his intentions.
