Cattle were also pivotal in mythology: gods and heroes stole cattle, expected sacrifices of cattle, and punished those who failed to provide them. The Cattle of the Sun ranges over a wealth of sources, both textual and archaeological, to explore why these animals mattered to the Greeks, how they came to be a key element in Greek thought and behavior, and how the Greeks exploited the symbolic value of cattle as a way of structuring social and economic relations. Jeremy McInerney explains that cattle's importance began with domestication and pastoralism: cattle were nurtured, bred, killed, and eaten. Practically useful and symbolically potent, cattle became social capital to be exchanged, offered to the gods, or consumed collectively. This circulation of cattle wealth structured Greek society, since dedication to the gods, sacrifice, and feasting constituted the most basic institutions of Greek life. McInerney shows that cattle contributed to the growth of sanctuaries in the Greek city-states, as well as to changes in the economic practices of the Greeks, from the Iron Age through the classical period, as a monetized, market economy developed from an earlier economy of barter and exchange. Combining a broad theoretical approach with a careful reading of sources, The Cattle of the Sun illustrates the significant position that cattle held in the culture and experiences of the Greeks.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions. 606 $aCattle$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aPastoral systems$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aCattle$zGreece$xReligious aspects$xHistory 606 $aAnimal sacrifice$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aFasts and feasts$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aCattle trade$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aNational characteristics, Greek$xHistory 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yTo 146 B.C 607 $aGreece$xReligious life and customs 607 $aGreece$xEconomic conditions$yTo 146 B.C 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCattle$xHistory. 615 0$aPastoral systems$xHistory. 615 0$aCattle$xReligious aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aAnimal sacrifice$xHistory. 615 0$aFasts and feasts$xHistory. 615 0$aCattle trade$xHistory. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Greek$xHistory. 676 $a636.20938 686 $aNH 6850$2rvk 700 $aMcInerney$b Jeremy$f1958-$01027533 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458427903321 996 $aThe cattle of the sun$92443027 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05344oam 2200769 a 450 001 9910955359403321 005 20250204110515.0 010 $a9798216011514 010 $a9798216142171 010 $a9781785399381 010 $a1785399381 010 $a9781610693202 010 $a1610693205 024 7 $a10.5040/9798216011514 035 $a(OCoLC)881204385 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL8NKZ 035 $a(OCoLC)1413730171 035 $a(DLC)ABC1610693205 035 $a(CKB)2550000001302411 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1691165 035 $a(DLC)BP1610693191BC 035 $a(MiFhGG)9781610693202 035 $a(Perlego)4183942 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001302411 100 $a20140116e20142023 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aScience and political controversy $ea reference handbook /$fDavid E.
