Birds in the Ancient World

"Birds pervaded the ancient world. The impressed their physical presence on the daily experience and imaginations of ordinary people in town and country alike, and figured prominently in literature and art. They also provided a fertile source of symbols and stories in their myths and folklore, and were central to the ancient rituals of augury and divination. Jeremy Mynott's Birds in the ancient world: winged words brings together all this rich and fascinating material for the modern reader"--Inside dust jacket
