    Gods and their animals

    I happen to live in a rural Dutch town, and there's not much to it's library They do have some kind of network with other libraries in the area, but I don't expect too much from that. I might visit the library in Rotterdam (come on you must know that city ), and see what they have there...

    Gods and their animals

    You don't (want to) know my local library No joking I'll try to find something there. The reason I posted here is that I figured that some of you guys might know a thing or two about this subject, because if you post regularly on forums like this, you must know a lot about Roman history.

    Gods and their animals

    Hello forum visitors, I'm currently in the process of writing an essay about the role of animals in Roman religion. One of the things I will do, is explaining why many gods had their 'own' animals. However, I can't find a thing on this subject on the internet. All I see is lists of gods with their respective animals, without any explanation given as to why a certain animal belongs to a certain god. So I would appreciate it very much if you'd want to tell me why the Romans associated animals with their gods, and why (to pick a few) Jupiter had an eagle, why Neptune had a horse and why Juno had a peacock. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Salve, Larus
