Greek Texts & Translations

ch. 29 4.29.1 And in my opinion it is for this reason that the hornless kind of cattle grow no horns in Scythia. A verse of Homer in the Odyssey
attests to my opinion: “Libya, the land where lambs are born with horns on their foreheads,”
Hom. Od. 4.85in which it is correctly observed that in hot countries the horns grow quickly, whereas in very cold countries beasts hardly grow horns, or not at all.
