Lion-baiting : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lion-baiting
Lion-baiting is a blood sport involving the baiting of lions. ==Antiquity==
Antiquity has examples of the eternal dream of man's faithful companion, the dog,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bartleby.com: Great Books Online -- Quotes, Poems, Novels, Classics and hundreds more )〕 which defeats even the 'King of Beasts', the lion. Greek legend reflects Achilles shield with a depiction of the victory of his dog over two lions. A second is a Persian King Kambyses possessed a dog that started a fight with two full-grown lions. A third, is reported by a Roman historian, Claudius Aelianus, in which he states Indians showed Alexander the Great powerful dogs bred for lion-baiting. Certainly, ancient historians would embellish their stories, but they do capture the spirit of dog versus lion.
