Xenophon (1897) on Hunting (Cynegeticus)
The essay by Xenophon "On Hunting With the Beagle", outlines important steps to hunt with the beagle. The hunter must first teach his hound how to see the hare. Next, the hunter should feed his hounds in close proximity to the hare's traps. Then, once the hare is captured, the hunter must reward the hounds with food.
Xenophon goes on to discuss the importance of hunting and how it can help the war effort. Hunting can help soldiers find their way home in difficult situations. Additionally, the practice of hunting makes men more upright and sober, and it trains them in the school of truth. Soldiers who hunt for virtue are better than those who hunt.
Xenophon's fascinating and thought-provoking presentation of hunting with the dog is captivating. He explains the importance of different types of hounds in hunting the game and then he describes various modes of chasing. Some dogs will pursue the target using an unspecific approach. Others may use a more physical approach to the chase. While others might feel jealous, others simply follow the lead.
Before foxhunting became popular in the 19thcentury, beagles hunted hare. Young and old hunters alike found the beagle to be a good hunting companion. The beagle is also the best dog to hunt in undergrowth and has excellent scent-tracking abilities.
