Schmalzgruber, Hedwig: Speaking Animals in Ancient Literature

Edited by Hedwig Schmalzgruber. 21 contributions (seven of them in German language) of an interdisciplinary conference held at Potsdam, September 2018. International researchers from the fields of Classical Philology, Ancient History, Egyptology, Ancient Oriental Studies, Theology and Jewish Studies explore animal speech in ancient texts from the very beginnings to late antiquity, including their reception. Contexts relating to literary, intellectual, cultural and social history are considered as well as concepts of animality and humanity, building a bridge to the more recently established Human-Animal Studies. 619 Seiten mit 6 Abb., gebunden (Kalliope - Studien zur griechischen und lateinischen Poesie; Band 20/Universitätsverlag Winter 2020)
