       Xenophon       the   Athenian     was   born    431   B。C。    He   was    a  pupil   of 

Socrates。   He   marched   with   the   Spartans�察  �and   was   exiled   from   Athens。 

Sparta   gave   him   land   and   property   in   Scillus�察  �where   he   lived   for   many 

years before having to move once more�察�to settle in Corinth。 He died in 

354 B。C。 

     The   Sportsman   is   a   manual   on   hunting   hares�察  �deer   and   wild   boar�察�

including the topics of dogs�察�and the benefits of hunting for the young。

     To the gods themselves is   due the  discovery�察�to Apollo and Artemis�察�

patrons   of   the   chase   and   protectors   of   the   hound。��1�А�As   a   guerdon   they 

bestowed it upon Cheiron�撮�2�А�by reason of his uprightness�察�and he took it 

and was glad�察�and turned the gift to good account。 At his feet sat many a 

disciple�察�to whom he taught the mystery of hunting and of chivalry��3��to

And let none marvel that of these the greater part�察�albeit well´pleasing to 

the gods�察�nevertheless were subject to deathwhich is the way of nature�撮�4�А�

but   their   fame   has   grownnor   yet   that   their   prime   of   manhood   so   far 

differed。   The   lifetime   of   Cheiron   sufficed   for   all   his   scholars�察  �the   fact 

being that Zeus and Cheiron were brethren�察�sons of the same father but of 

different mothersZeus of Rhea�察�and Cheiron of the nymph Nais�撮�5�А�and 

so it is that�察�though older than all of them�察�he died not before he had taught
