The Art of Horsemanship: Xenophon and Other Classical Writers
Translated with notes by Dr A. Nyland
Xenophon was an ancient Greek soldier who lived from around 430-354 BC. His
"Art of Horsemanship" is his work on selecting and educating horses. It was
not the first work of its kind, an earlier being that of Simon of Athens.
This book also includes excerpts by Aristotle, Columella, Diogenes Laertius,
Herodotos, Juvenal, Livy, Pliny the Elder, Simon of Athens, Suetonius,
Theomnestus, Virgil, (and two of Xenophon's other works mentioning
horsemanship,) which are relevant to Xenophon's The Art of Horsemanship.
This is a new English translation by Dr A. Nyland.
