About this book

Hares, deer and wild boar are the quarry in this short Greek manual on hunting, which also covers dogs and the benefits of the chase for young men. Xenophon, the Athenian pupil of Socrates, begins by tracing hunting to Apollo and Artemis, who gave it to the centaur Cheiron, and he lists the heroes Cheiron taught, from Cephalus to Achilles.

The work is also known by its Greek title, Cynegeticus. This English version is by H. G. Dakyns, with footnotes citing ancient sources and Greek terms.
