Animals and their Relation to Gods, Humans and Things in the Ancient World
Animals and their Relation to Gods, Humans and Things in the Ancient World[electronic resource] /edited by Raija Mattila, Sanae Ito, Sebastian Fink. - 1st ed. 2019. - XII, 487 p. 1 illus.online resource. - Universal- und kulturhistorische Studien. Studies in Universal and Cultural History,2524-3780. - Universal- und kulturhistorische Studien. Studies in Universal and Cultural History,.

Human-Animal-Studies - Bridging the Lacuna between Academia and Society -- Reflections on the Pivotal Role of Animals in Early Mesopotamia -- Holy Cow! On Cattle Metaphores in Sumerian Literary Texts -- On Men, Animals, and Supernatural Beings in Ancient Maya Iconography. - Animal Friezes in "Orientalizing" Greek Art.

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.
