Beskrivning
This volume explores how differing subfields of Classical Studies can be enriched when passed through the prism of Human-Animal Studies, a field which is currently undergoing a period of great activity.Chapters showcase philological, archaeological, philosophical, numismatic, and artistic approaches to the field of ancient animal studies, covering three millennia from the Mycenean to the Late Roman period and a wide geographical span from Italy to Scythia and even China. Lavishly illustrated, chapters examine both mythical and non-mythical animals and their interactions between ancient Mediterranean cultures, demonstrating the extent and variety of ways in which the ancient Greeks and Romans “thought” through their animals. The volume ends with a guide for further reading and an essay exploring the future of Ancient Human-Animal Studies.Offering an interdisciplinary approach to Ancient Animal Studies, The Animal Spectrum of the Ancient Greeks and Romans is suitable for students and scholars of Classics and Ancient History, as well as general readers interested in animal-human relations in the ancient world.
