520 Though Greece is traditionally seen as an agrarian society,
cattle were essential to Greek communal life, through
religious sacrifice and dietary consumption. 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.
