Animals and their Relation to Gods, Humans and Things in the Ancient World de Raija Mattila

Animals and their Relation to Gods, Humans and Things in the Ancient World: Universal- und kulturhistorische Studien. Studies in Universal and Cultural History

Editat de Raija Mattila, Sanae Ito, Sebastian Fink
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mar 2019
While Human-Animal Studies is a rapidly growing field in modern history, studies on this topic that focus on the Ancient World are few. The present volume aims at closing this gap. It investigates the relation between humans, animals, gods, and things with a special focus on the structure of these categories. An improved understanding of the ancient categories themselves is a precondition for any investigation into the relation between them. The focus of the volume lies on the Ancient Near East, but it also provides studies on Ancient Greece, Asia Minor, Mesoamerica, the Far East, and Arabia.
