Both in mythology and history we have a multitude of celebrated steeds. Thus:—
Akabar.—A hot one. Was one of the horses of Sunna.
Abaster.—Away from the stars—belonged to Pluto.
Abraxus.—Was one of the horses of Aurora.
Actæon.—Effulgent, was one of the horses of the sun.
Æthon.—Fiery red. Was another horse of the sun.
Acton.—Swift as an eagle. Was a horse of Pluto’s.
Aligero Clavileno.—The wooden pin-winged horse on which Don Quixote mounted to effect the deliverance of Trifaldi and her companions.
Amathea.—No loiterer. Was one of the horses of the sun.
Aquiline.—Like an eagle. Raymond’s steed, bred on the banks of the Tagus.
