Seeing the Dog
This study attempts to demonstrate that ancient Greek authors and vase painters (mostly of the late sixth and early fifth centuries) were well attuned to the many bodily gestures and positions exhibited by dogs in real life and utilized this knowledge in producing their works. Once this is clear, it becomes evident that the Greek public at large was equally aware of such canine bodily gestures and positions. This extends the seminal work on gestu…
A Defense of the “Monstrous” Animals of Pliny, Aelian, and Others
It is customary to criticize ancient and medieval authors on animal lore for being gullible and repeating any story no matter how incredible. This article seeks to mitigate this criticism by pointing out four factors that are often overlooked by such critics. First, a great number of the stories are based on real facts that became distorted through misobservation or because such stories often traveled vast distances on their way to Greek and Roma…

The Mallia 'wasp' pendant reconsidered
The small, golden pendant from the Minoan settlement of Mallia on the island of Crete (PL. 1) is one of the best known pieces of jewellery from Minoan, if not all, prehistoric times. First published in 1930 (Demargne, 1930), it was unearthed in the Chrysolakkos cemetery area of the palace at Mallia. Although dating is difficult, the piece is usually assigned a date in Middle Minoan times, generally to MM I, between roughly 2000 and 1700 BC (Demar…
