Saw a great post floating around about medieval dog names that reminded me of the Cynegeticus (”on hunting”) by the philosopher Xenophon where he gives a delightful list suggestions for of dog names, so i compiled some of my favourites here

Omg wait which Pythian ode it says Apollo raised Chiron? Because I've been searching for the source and couldn't find it so far.

Both Theoi and Wikipedia state that Apollo was Chiron's mentor and/or that he raised him along with Artemis, and give the exact same sources:

I didn't manage to find that specific passage from Pythian Odes either because the Internet is a bitch sometimes, and the closest thing that I managed to find is this little fragment from Xenophon's Cynegeticus:

"Game and hounds are the invention of gods, of Apollo and Artemis. They bestowed it on Cheiron and honoured him therewith for his righteousness. And he, receiving it, rejoiced in the gift, and used it."

And... yeah. That's basically what I can say for now. I tried to search for Philostratus' Heroicus too, yet I couldn't find any pdf format nor excerpt from it either. 😑

The Ancient Greek philosopher, writer, and general Xenophon (c.430BCE — c.355BCE), who also wrote "Anabasis", wrote "Cynegeticus", a manual for training hunting dogs. He devoted one of the chapters to listing good names for dogs.

Those names (translated to English) are: Soul, Spirit, Shield, Resin, Lance, Ambush, Guard, Guardian, Order, Dirk, Killer, Blazing, Might, Armor, Ranger, Ruler, Ravager, Eager, Rage, Roaring, Pride, Blooming, Strength, Flowery, Youth, Joyful, Joy, Watcher, Radiant, Abundant, Force, Line, Zeal, To Swell, Wine, Sturdy, Shout, Fresh, Uproar, Might, Sky, Beam, Edge, Mind, Judgment, Course, and Charge.

One of the most important things I have learned today..

Flamengo have a problem with their defensive setup. They leak goals. The reason is simple. The backline is full of players who are average to below average in recovery speed and they all are lacking in defensive cognition at this time, for various reasons. so, Flamengo have to outscore opponents. But 

based on a statistical assessment shared to me by Paulo Frietas linked below. It is clear that while Gabriel Barbossa scores goals in greater quantity. MArinho score goals in more dire situations. With that said it is clear that the Flamengo coach must play Marinho while also the deadly duo of Gabriel Barbossa and Bruno Henrique. The three in the back have to be played. 

The point is, when a team doesn’t do something well , either figure out how to do it well and reduce other things, or do other things better. Flamengo are missing more goals, so play a more forward setup. The problem then is a matter of ball retention. Playing a set of offensive players isn’t a problem if the players take care of the ball at a better rate.

Arrien

Lucius Flavius Arrianus, communément appelé Arrien (86 - c. 160 de notre ère) était un historien, philosophe et homme d'État grec originaire de Nicomédie, capitale de la province romaine de Bithynie. Arrien est reconnu comme l'un des auteurs les plus renommés de l'Empire romain du IIe siècle de notre ère pour ses travaux approfondis sur Alexandre le Grand (356-323 avant notre ère). Arrien modela son style d'écriture sur celui du philosophe et historien Xénophon, du IVe siècle avant Jésus-Christ. Il a été surnommé "le second Xénophon" grâce à son ouvrage Cynegeticus (Sur la chasse avec les chiens), une révision de la Cyropaideia de Xénophon. Une source donne même le nom complet d'Arrien comme étant Flavius Arrianus Xenophon.

History

Dogs of similar size and purpose to the modern Beagle[a] can be traced in Ancient Greece back to around the 5th century BC. Xenophon, born around 430 BC, in his Treatise on Hunting or Cynegeticus refers to a hound that hunted hares by scent and was followed on foot.

Small hounds are mentioned in the Forest Laws of Canute which exempted them from the ordinance which commanded that all dogs capable of running down a stag should have one foot mutilated.

If genuine, these laws would confirm that beagle-type dogs were present in England before 1016, but it is likely the laws were written in the Middle Ages to give a sense of antiquity and tradition to Forest Law.
