Animals played a role in divination, epiphany, ritual healing, the setting up of dedications, the writing of binding spells, and the instigation of other 'magical' means. Taken together, the individual contributions to this book illustrate that ancient Greek religion constituted a triangular symbolic system encompassing not just gods and humans, but also animals as a third player and point of reference. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnimals in Ancient Greek Religion \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to students and scholars of Greek religion, Greek myth, and ancient religion more broadly, as well as for anyone interested in human\/animal relations in the ancient world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Kindt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138388882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138388888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Julia Kindt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087732945151,"sku":"9781138388888","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d0c7440-f33d-42eb-a434-9d63732cbff3.jpg?v=1769101092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animals-in-ancient-greek-religion-julia-kindt-9781138388888","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
