Talk:Nisean horse

Pretty poor
Needs a lot of work. Here's a good start:


 * "In front of the king went first a thousand horsemen, picked men of the Persian nation - then spearmen a thousand, likewise chosen troops, with their spearheads pointing towards the ground - next ten of the sacred horses called Nisaean, all daintily caparisoned. (Now these horses are called Nisaean, because they come from the Nisaean plain, a vast flat in Media, producing horses of unusual size.)"

...written around 430 BC by Herodotus. Text at: http://www.piney.com/Heredotus7.html
