He was 110 years old at the time of the Iliad. He was the oldest Greek leader. His son Antilochus was the youngest Greek leader. Nestor must have fathered him in his 80s!
And in this painting Nestor is serving as Diomedes' charioteer. And the horses are the ones Diomedes earlier had taken from Aeneas. Decendents of the pair Jove gave Tros in exchange for Ganymede.
