CSTS 218: Animals and Androids in Greek and Latin Literature (HC)

In entries ranging from short to long, Kitchell offers insight into this commonly overlooked world, covering mammals, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Evidence is taken from archaeology, ancient authors, inscriptions, papyri, coins, mosaics and all other artistic media. Entries are accompanied by full citations to ancient authors and an extensive bibliography.

Both the realities and the more theoretical aspects of the treatment of animals in ancient times are covered in essays which explore the domestication of animals, animal husbandry, animals as pets, Aesop's Fables, and animals in classical art and comedy.

2) Dictionary of Greek and Latin Authors and Texts
3) Historical Atlas of the Ancient World
4) Reception of Myth and Mythology
5) Reception of Classical Literature
6) History of Classical Scholarship - A Biographical Dictionary

Note that all Pauly volumes are available in print at Haverford. Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore have all the volumes online.

This new encyclopedia offers a comprehensive overview of the literature, history, archaeology, art, philosophy, science, and religion of the Greek and Roman world from the Bronze Age to the fifth century CE. It also covers the legacy of the classical world and its interpretation and influence in subsequent centuries.
