Birds in the Ancient World: Winged Words
Mynott, Jeremy (Former Chief Executive of Cambridge University Press, and Emeritus Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge)
Birds played an important role in the ancient world: as indicators of time, weather, and seasons; as a resource for hunting, medicine, and farming; as pets and entertainment; as omens and messengers of the gods. Jeremy Mynott explores the similarities and surprising differences between ancient perceptions of the natural world and our own.
