" Mr. Hull discusses the hunting gear of the Greeks, their breeds of hounds, and the "natural history" - sometimes sound, sometimes erroneous and fantastic - of the animals hunted: hare, deer, gazelle, antelope, wild cattle, fox and lion. The supreme test for the hunter, the Greeks believed, was to confront the wily and vicious wild boar. Handsomely produced and illustrated, with line drawings by Virgil Burnett and sixteen plates, the work includes complete translations of Xenophon's Cynegeticus and Arrian's Cynegeticus and translated excerpts from the Onomasicon of Julius Pollux. Also provided are glossaries of Greek technical terms and animals with their modern English equivalents"' 239p. illus plates bibliography. index Crisp tight copy, tiny mark and slight scuffing at spine, else fine.
