Abstract

IN his treatise known under the title of Hippike or The Art of Horsemanship, the historian Xenophon, writing towards the close of a busy and adventurous life, furnishes the Greek cavalryman with much expert advice drawn from his long experience as a professional soldier. No small part of the essay is concerned with the question of the choice of a proper mount, after which the matter of defensive armor for the knight is examined.
