[706] Strabo, iv. 4. 3, says these swine attacked strangers. Varro, _de Re Rustica_, ii. 4, admires their vast size. Cf. Polyb. ii. 4. [707] The hunt is first mentioned in Nennius, c. 79, and then appears as a full-blown folk-tale in _Kulhwych_, Loth, i. 185 f. Here the boar is a transformed prince. [708] I have already suggested, p. 106, _supra_, that the places where Gwydion halted with the swine of Elysium were sites of a swine-cult. [709] _RC_ xiii. 451. Cf. also _TOS_ vi.

[722] Reinach suggests that this may explain why Vercingetorix, in view of siege by the Romans, sent away his horses. They were too sacred to be eaten. Cæsar, vii. 71; Reinach, _RC_ xxvii. 1 f.
