    CyropaediaClassical · Greek

    Hunting dogs used to characterize Cyrus's spirited conduct and to illustrate unreliable encouragement.

    but that is just as if any one on a hunt should always call up his dogs with the call that he uses when he sees the quarry.
    chapter 1
    As a well-bred but untrained hound rushes recklessly upon a boar, so Cyrus rushed on, with regard for nothing but to strike down every one he overtook and reckless of anything else.
    chapter 1
    And he was pleased to see that Cyrus was unable to keep silence for delight, but, like a well-bred hound, gave tongue whenever he came near an animal and urged on each of his companions by name.
    chapter 1

    Nicomachean EthicsClassical · Greek

    Dogs cited as an example of an animal whose pleasure lies in consuming prey rather than in sensing it.

    Hounds do not take pleasure in scenting hares, but in eating them;
    chapter 3

    BacchaeClassical · Greek

    Hunting dogs invoked both in the myth of Actaeon's death and as Agave's metaphor for her fellow Bacchae.

    O my fleet hounds, we are hunted by these men;
    bacchae
    You see the wretched fate of Actaeon, who was torn apart in the meadows by the blood-thirsty hounds he had raised, having boasted that he was superior in the hunt to Artemis.
    bacchae

    Hymn 27 to ArtemisClassical · Greek

    Hunting dogs encouraged by Artemis.

    I sing of Artemis, whose shafts are of gold, who cheers on the hounds, the pure maiden, shooter of stags, who delights in archery, own sister to Apollo with the golden sword.
    hymn 27 to artemis

    RepublicClassical · Greek

    A watch-dog whose combination of ferocity toward strangers and gentleness toward familiars serves as the model for the guardian's paradoxical nature.

    Do you think, said I, that there is any difference between the nature of a well-bred hound for this watch-dog’s work and of a well-born lad?
    chapter 2
    The love of wisdom, then, and high spirit and quickness and strength will be combined for us in the nature of him who is to be a good and true guardian of the state.
    chapter 2

    EconomicsClassical · Greek

    Hounds are animals sustained by farming and useful for hunting, protecting crops and sheep, and securing solitude.

    And the land helps in some measure to arouse a liking for the toil of hunting, since it affords facilities for keeping hounds and at the same time supplies food for the wild game that preys on the land.
    chapter 5
    And if husbandry benefits horses and hounds, they benefit the farm no less, the horses by carrying the overseer early to the scene of his duties and enabling him to leave it late, the hounds by keeping the wild animals from injuring crops and sheep, and by helping to give safety to solitude.
    chapter 5

    MemorabiliaClassical · Greek

    Hunting animals analogized to an agent who identifies and drives potential friends toward Theodote.

    and since they run away at daybreak, another pack of hounds is obtained for tracking them by the scent along the run from the feeding ground to the form;
    chapter 3
    Of course you can, if for the hound you substitute an agent who will track and find rich men with an eye for beauty, and will then contrive to chase them into your nets.
    chapter 3
