In preperation of the Battle of Salamina ;A dog was so loyal that it jumped into the sea and swam after Xanthippus' boat as his master departed. The dog caught up the boat and stayed with it; swimming alongside. The people onboard saw what he was doing and shouted encouragement. There's no way a dog should have been able to keep pace with a trireme; but he did. Presumably the load on the trireme was such it could move only very slowly. To swim the distance was impossible; but the dog refused to give up. managing to swim across to the isle; before dying of exhaustion as the dog made it to land.IN THE PHOTO: A statue likeness of the dog of Xanthippous - type of dog Kokoni.See also 2-Z11-A1-12 (867271) & 2-Z11-A1-12-1 (867273)
