| Summary: | "This collection gives an overview of how animals feature in different areas of the ancient Greek religious experience, in belief and practices, the literary and material evidence, reality and representation. An international team of contributors illuminate the triangular symbolic relationship between gods, humans and animals, which was central to ancient Greek religion as it transcended beliefs and practices in different areas of religious experience. Animals in Ancient Greek Religion will be of interest to students and scholars of Greek religion, Greek myth, and ancient religion more broadly, as well as for anyone interested in human/animal relations in the ancient world"-- |
