Scylax--Lighter Dog
Laelaps: "Hurricane". A famous--and relentless--hunting hound belonging to Actaeon in Ovid's "Metamorphoses", originally a gift of the gods. "She gave me...a wonderful hound which her own Cynthia had given, and said as she gave: 'He will surpass all other hounds in speed.' [...] No spear is swifter than he, nor leaden bullets thrown by a whirled sling, or the light reed shot from a Gortynian bow."
Scylax: "Puppy". In Petronius' "Satyricon", the master Trimalchio claims that no one in his house loves him better than Scylax. "[...] the guardian of the house and the slaves [...]" An enormous dog on a chain. Also a recommended dog name in Columella's "On Agriculture".](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/j7mmcvjk3w7.png)
