内容説明
Focuses on the domestic cat in Roman civilization. The study is a compendium of the available literary sources drawn from the spheres of religion, mythology, the fable tradition, miscellenea, natural observations and agricultural tracts. The final chapters include an examination of artistic representations demonstrating a variety of perceptions of the cat, a survey of archaeological discoveries of feline remains, and observations on the cat in Roman life.
目次
- The background - Ptolemaic Egypt and the Greeks
- introducing Feles, or Cattus, or "Felicia" - myths, cults, and fables
- further evidence in literature of the Roman period - a clean, swift animal, useful against mice, miles and snakes
- feline portraits - exotic status symbol, parody of the "Big Cats" sign of the divine within and just plain "Kitty"
- feline remains - skeletons, mummies and footprints
- the life of the Roman cat - symbiosis without divinity.
