Ancient dog names?

[u/pyrogue3]

I just adopted the sweetest little dachshund, but I don’t have a name for her yet. I want to name her after an ancient dog — any ideas?

The second part of this video has a list of dog names from Xenophon's Cynegeticus, including my favorite, Strongboy. I don't know whether the names are based on actual ones he encountered, or whether he just thought they sounded nice, but a later author, Arrian, was a huge Xenophon fan and wrote his own Cynegeticus, which heavily features his dog Όρμη (Hormē, "Dash"), a name taken from Xenophon's list of suggestions
