A stable is a shed built for animals, particularly horses.
History
Classical Greece
In 5th-century BCE Greece, stables were a part of everyday life, as horses were a key method of transportation. Some stables had a mythical element to their existence, like the Stable of Augeias within the Kingdom of Pelops in Elis.[1]
Ptolemaic Egypt
During the 1st century BCE, Themistocles of Kanopos set up the Zephyros Stables near Kanopos, Egypt. Later, his son Philocrates took over the estate. Zephyros Stables was the sponsor of the chariot-racing team Prasina Green, with both of Philocrates' sons, Icarus and Nikias, racing for the team.[2]
Middle Ages
In the 9th century, the Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq visited a number of stables in Baghdad to purchase new mounts.[3] The Viking Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan also visited stables during her travels throughout England, and built one in her settlement of Ravensthorpe, where the horsekeeper Rowan took care of the Raven Clan's mounts.[4]
Renaissance
Before the liberation of Rome, the city's stables were in disrepair and disuse. In January 1500, after meeting with Niccolò Machiavelli and destroying a nearby Borgia tower, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze paid to renovate a stable, allowing him and Machiavelli to navigate Rome by horseback.[5] Over the next three years, Ezio renovated more stables, increasing the number of available horses in Rome and the amount of money he received in banks.[6]
Golden Age of Piracy
In February 1725, the British Assassin Edward Kenway stole a horse from a stable outside Macau, using it to ride into the city and look for a warehouse containing salt and sugar that could be used to treat a cholera outbreak in Zhang's village.[7]
American Revolution
At the time of the American Revolutionary War, the Old South Meeting House was briefly converted into a stable and riding school after being ransacked by British troops during the 1776 siege of Boston.[8]
Victorian era
In 1868, the British Assassin Evie Frye stole a horse carriage from the Royal Mews in London to use it to drive Maharaja Duleep Singh as he spoke with various politicians about India's plight. After she was done using the carriage, Evie returned it to the stables.[9]
