Abstract

“There is little literature on Greek animals,” wrote Richter, the great classical archaeologist and art historian, in her introduction to Animals in Greek Sculpture some 80 years ago (Oxford 1930 [xi]). The book under review, derived from the Oxford University D.Phil. thesis of Calder, offers an opportunity for reassessment, showing clear advances in the field. In addition to Richter’s still useful survey, generations of researchers have contributed to what Calder terms a “vast modern scholarship” on animals and their interactions with humans in ancient Greece (1).
