ABSTRACT
AGAIN, Herodotus tells in Bk V of a marvellous horse, belonging to Artybius, a Persian general, which had been taught to rear up against an armed man. Learning of this, Onesilus, the leader of the Cypriots and an enemy of Artybius, said to his attendant, one who was skilled in the art of war and very shrewd, too, in other respects, 'I hear that Artybius's horse has been trained to rear up and, using its teeth and hooves at the same time, finish off the man against whom it is ridden.
