XX [From the foreword] SINCE the dawn of civilization the horse and the Muses have been boon companions in all the heroics of mythology and history. The Ancients regarded the horse as a being of divine origin, possessing supernatural power, and their creation of the Centaur - the only one of the fanciful monsters of antiquity to which any good traits were assigned - as one of their tutelary deities, was the direct result of their efforts to establish an indissoluble bond between themselves and their gods. Neptune, to whom the creation of the horse was attributed, might be called the original patron of horse-racing. The horses which pulled his chariot over the ocean had brazen hoofs and golden manes, and where he drove, calm succeeded storm. The golden Chariot of the Sun that Phoebus drove in the heavens was drawn by three white horses, the gift of Neptune. Pegasus, the horse of the Muses, has always been exploited by the poets of all modern languages - notably in Shakespeare's Henry IV, where Vernon describes Prince Henry as vaulting with such ease into his seat As if an angel dropp'd down from the clouds To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus and witch the world with noble horsemanship." No less a personage than that husky brute of a Roman emperor, Caligula, honored his favorite horse Incitatus by appointing him a Roman Consul, much to the confusion of the dissipated dandies of his court, who considered it an unmerited horse on them. The versified story of this little incident will be found within. The intimate identity of the horse with the life and literature of all peoples, since civilization began, has a most interesting scientific explanation as well. From the little five-toed Eohippus of Eocene times, through the four-toed and three-toed intermediate forms, down to his wonderful present-day development, the original species has never changed. Whatever his evolution during millions of years, the horse has always been a horse, and, according to our old friend Job, got a lot of satisfaction out of it; hence the horse-laugh -- see Job's statement inside. Indeed, the advance of the horse has been coincidental with that of man himself.
