As well as the Little Owl or glaux, so often seen accompanying the
goddess Athena, many other birds played an important role in Greek
art and symbolism. This booklet describes the ways in which the
Greeks viewed birds, from useful hawks and fowl to exotic parakeets
and peacocks. Some of the birds most often depicted are imaginary,
from the griffin to the phallos bird, whose head and neck consisted
of an erect penis. The book ends with a field guide to species
likely to be seen on a visit to the Agora archaeological park
today.
