The Cattle of the Sun: Cows and Culture in the World of the Ancient Greeks
Jeremy McInerney
Though Greece is traditionally seen as an agrarian society, cattle were essential to Greek communal life. This title explores why these animals mattered to the Greeks, how they came to be a key element in Greek thought and behavior, and how the Greeks exploited the symbolic value of cattle as a way of structuring social and economic relations.
