Abstract
A prevalent Talmudic theory claims that both animals and plants can change, whether in the development process of the embryo or throughout the life of the organism. The current article analyzes the concept of the transformation. It shows that this view was rooted in Greco-Roman literature and the Jewish sages derived their outlook from the classical world with which they were familiar.
