Henry D. Dakyns & his analysis of Hipparch 'corralled'

 Salvete Omnes,

 


a short entry, but with some interesting works linked in there -  for your pleasure and perusal.
Do canter away with Xenophon and his horse 



when Henry G. Dakyns translated Xenophon's Cavalry Commander (Hipparch, Hipparchicus) - I posted it here

 


so Henry Dakyns also made his own analysis of this treatise with annotations - nota bene a short entry to the Greek cavalry prior to the age of Philip II & his son Alexander (Macedonian conquerors eg prof. Ilkka Sylvanne article on their Art of War) by S. Skarmintzos on Academia



so if it pleases you, read away
 




and chlamys recreated

and there is this PhD. thesis - Of Horses And Men Developments in Greek Cavalry Training and Warfare (550-350 BC) - by  Annelies Koolen-who has a very extensive equestrian background (page 277 in her dissertation)-  but I have not read it yet (it is awaiting my reading list's longish line ) .
