Description
The Culture of Animals in Antiquity provides students and researchers with well-chosen and clearly-presented ancient sources in translation, some well-known and others undoubtedly unfamiliar, but all central to the part played by animals in the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean. It covers a broad span of time, from the sacred animals of dynastic Egypt to the imagery of the lamb in early Christianity.
This volume is divided into two parts: sources relating to 80 animal species, each entry a short introduction outlining key themes, and chapters treating the evidence thematically, adding interpretive flesh to the texts and drawing together themes from the individual entries.
