Garden of Kynosarges

Garden of Kynosarges was a garden attributed to the hero Didymos, located outside of Athens in Attika, Greece.

When Didymos was about to perform a sacrifice to the god Dionysos, a white dog snatched the sacrificial animal from him. He went on to create a garden in honor of the dog’s swiftness and cunning.
