Description
Explore the literary world of the Roman sophist Claudius Aelianus through this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. Born in Praeneste during the late second century CE, Aelian cultivated a Greek literary persona that influenced the Roman world for over a thousand years. This book examines his most famous work, De natura animalium, a collection of animal lore that serves as a sophisticated critique of Severan Rome. Readers will gain insight into how Aelian used his fascination with animals to address the cultural issues of his era. The text connects his writing to broader themes of philosophy, religion, and the exoticism found in Egypt and India. This volume provides a deep look into the Greek culture within the Roman world and the lasting impact of Aelian's literary compilations.
