As in so many cultures, past and present, the dog in ancient Greece was seen as the animal closest to humans, even as it elicited from them the most negative representations. Still a loaded term today, the word bitch not only signified shamelessness and a lack of self-control but was also exclusively figured as female. Woman and dogs in the Greek imagination were intimately intertwined, and in this careful, engaging analysis, Cristiana Franco explores the ancients' complex relationship with both. By analyzing the relationship between humans and dogs as depicted in a vast array of myths, proverbs, spontaneous metaphors, and comic jokes, Franco in particular shows how the symbolic overlap between dog and woman provided the conceptual tools to maintain feminine subordination. Intended for general readers as well as scholars, Shameless extends the boundaries of classics and anthropology, forming a model of the sensitive work that can be done to illuminate how deeply animals are imbricated in human history. The English translation has been revised and expanded from the original Italian edition, and it includes a new methodological appendix by the author that points the way toward future work in the emerging field of human-animal studies. 410 0$aJoan Palevsky imprint in classical literature. 606 $aDogs$xMythology$zGreece 606 $aDogs in literature 606 $aWomen$xHistory$yTo 500 606 $aWomen (Greek law) 606 $aDogs in art 607 $aGreece$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDogs$xMythology 615 0$aDogs in literature. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aWomen (Greek law) 615 0$aDogs in art. 676 $a880.9/3522 700 $aFranco$b Cristiana$0524201 702 $aFox$b Matthew$g(Matthew Aaron), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465014103321 996 $aShameless$92492632 997 $aUNINA
