The Oxford Handbook of Animals in Classical Thought and Life is the
first comprehensive guide to animals in the ancient world,
encompassing all aspects of the topic by featuring authoritative
chapters on 33 topics by leading scholars in their fields. As well
as an introduction to, and a survey of, each topic, it provides
guidance on further reading for those who wish to study a
particular area in greater depth. Both the realities and the more
theoretical aspects of the treatment of animals in ancient times
are covered in chapters which explore the domestication of animals,
animal husbandry, animals as pets, Aesop's Fables, and animals in
classical art and comedy, all of which closely examine the nature
of human-animal interaction. More abstract and philosophical topics
are also addressed, including animal communication, early ideas on
the origin of species, and philosophical vegetarianism and the
notion of animal rights.
