The Significance of Praus

In ancient times, the Greek military would capture wild horses and train them for war. Of those captured, most would provide utility – pulling and packing the supplies and weapons of the soldiers. However, the strongest, the fiercest, the most courageous were called praus. These praus horses were the warhorses ridden unwaveringly into battle. They had not lost their wild spirit nor their strength, yet they demonstrated complete self-mastery.
