In this book, readers are shown how dogs fit into ancient Greek
society with material from the last 90 years of excavations at the
Athenian Agora by the American School of Classical Studies at
Athens. Topics range from how ancient Greeks hunted with dogs and
what they considered a proper dog's name to the excavation of
tender burials in the Agora and the sacrifice of dogs to the gods
of the underworld. Mythological dogs like the three-headed Kerberos
appear, as do the pawprints that very real dogs left behind more
than a thousand years ago. Dozens of illustrations of pottery,
sculpture, and excavated remains enliven the text. Anyone curious
about dogs in antiquity and how they relate to dogs in the present
day will be sure to find interesting material in this portable,
affordable text.
