Arrian on Coursing is a prose treatise on hunting with hounds, known as the Cynegeticus, in the tradition of Xenophon. It discusses the breeding, training and handling of dogs, especially coursing hares, and reflects on hunting in classical antiquity. It is worth listening to for its practical detail and its glimpse of the ancient bond between hunter and hound.
