This volume brings together a variety of approaches to the different ways in which the role of animals was understood in ancient Greco-Roman myth and religion, across a period of several centuries, from Preclassical Greece to Late Antique Rome. Animals in Greco-Roman antiquity were thought to be intermediaries between men and gods, and they played a pivotal role in sacrificial rituals and divination, the foundations of pagan religion. The studies in the first part of the volume examine the role of the animals in sacrifice and divination. The second part explores the similarities between animals, on the one hand, and men and gods, on the other. Indeed, in antiquity, the behaviour of several animals was perceived to mirror human behaviour, while the selection of the various animals as sacrificial victims to specific deities often was determined on account of some peculiar habit that echoed a special attribute of the particular deity. The last part of this volume is devoted to the study of animal metamorphosis, and to this end a number of myths that associate various animals with transformation are examined from a variety of perspectives.

For many years, ethnologists, social scientists, and archaeologists have tried to understand why so many myths have common elements. Is there a reason why similar myths appeared at similar times in various places around the world? How is religion supported by myth? In Religion, Myth and the Brain, author George F. Bain takes a closer look at these intriguing concepts and seeks to answer a compelling question: why are humans drawn to religion at all times and in all ages? In the form of DNA studies, modern science has tracked the movements of ancient peoples worldwide and has also developed brain imaging techniques that reveal the origins of religious experiences. Using his mythology teaching experience and drawing on his mythology lectures, Bain offers a unified view of the human need for religious experience. By utilizing studies of modern brain imaging, Bain believes that all religions are a normal human phenomenon that naturally evolves from myth. Religion, Myth and the Brain compiles extensive studies of these three areas to create a new understanding of why religion is ubiquitous and firmly engaged with humanity.
