Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents two ancient treatises that explore the art of hare hunting, first from Greek philosopher Xenophon and then from Roman military commander Arrian. These are the earliest known works on the subject, providing a fascinating historical perspective on the practices and beliefs of hare hunting. In his work, Xenophon emphasizes hunting's role in military preparation and describes the habits of hares and techniques for finding and pursuing them with scent hounds. Arrian adds to this by incorporating the use of greyhounds in the hunt, common in Gaul, and provides insights into the physical characteristics and training of these dogs. Together, these treatises offer valuable insights into the history and evolution of hunting practices.
