Hippocamps were highly respected by the Greeks and thought to have personalities similar to those of modern horses. The location and gentle nature of the Hippocamp depicts it protecting the ship and the hoplites.

The reverse side of the Byblos Hippocamp Amulet depicts a lion attacking a bull and is a statement of strength, a motif used on many coins from many different areas during ancient times.
