And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Stag Hunt Mosaic (c. 300 BC). From the House of the Abduction of Helen, Pella, Greece.
Sorry, I ain't gonna hunt with my junk hanging out... I don't want to kill the deer by embarrassment. My biggest worry would catching on something or miss a swing and have the first documented tranny operation involuntarily.
Much like artists today, I'm betting the artist here has never actually hunting and just drawing what he imagines hunting is like. Anyone who's ever hunting will laugh at the final result. Back in those days I'm thinking shooting it with a bow and arrow, or possibly throwing a spear, was the way to go. And clothes. Yes, wearing clothes.
I remember a teacher from years past telling me that the ancients were often depicted nude because they often ran or exercised (or hunted) nude. That they felt clothes slowed them down. That it was a real thing. And I was thinking that she (the female teacher) never had to run with her junk swinging all around. At least a pair of tighty whiteys to keep everything in place would help.

Actually Don that was the the thing back then. Look up the word gymnasium and why it is called that.
