Greyhound - Designer Decals
Ancestors of the Greyhound first appeared among Middle Eastern nomadic peoples and it was common for these ancient dogs to follow their camps. Greyhounds appear in both Greek and Roman mythology and also made it into the Bible Proverbs, 30:29-31, which praises Greyhounds by name. In Homer’s Odyssey, the only one who recognized Odysseus after his 20 year absence was his faithful Greyhound, Argus. Some of the oldest depictions of Greyhound-like dogs are from Turkey in temple drawings from 6,000 BC and in Iran on a 4,000 funerary vase. The term “Greyhound” may come from the old English West Saxon, "grighund" or in in Anglian, "greghund", meaning "first rank among dogs".
