Description
A fascinating menagerie of passages from classical literature about animals and the lives we share with them. Drawing on ancient writers such as Aesop and Ovid, classicist and farmer M. D. Usher has gathered a healthy litter of selections that reveal some of the ways Greeks and Romans thought about everything from lions, bears, and wolves to birds, octopuses, and snails - and that might inspire us to rethink our own relationships with our fellow creatures. Presented in lively new translations, with the original texts on facing pages.
