Exemplary Animals: Greek Animal Statues and Human Portraiture2009 •
This paper examines ancient Greek embodiments of animals in sculpture and their afterlives in the Roman imperial period. Statues of animals, both lifesize and lifelike, were prototypical votive and funerary monuments, characteristic of the Classical period (ca. 480-323 B.C.). Lions, bulls, and other animals were dedicated to the gods in their sanctuaries as ἀγάλµατα (pleasing gifts), as emblems of the identities of their divine recipients , and as perpetual sacrificial victims. The most famous of these statues in antiquity was Myron's cow, a bronze statue that originally stood on the Athenian Acropolis, but was later removed to Rome. Though representations of animal bodies could not be mistaken for human portraits, many were later reinterpreted as "portraits" of animals that had benefited humans by their virtuous deeds. A principal example is Pausanias' story about a bronze bull dedicated by the people of Corcyra at Delphi to represent the bull that had miraculously led them to a gigantic tuna catch (10.9.3-4). The stories generated by animal statues are treated by Pausanias and other authors of the Second So-phistic as moralising exempla, a typical feature of Roman discourse in this period. While the accretion of oral traditions over time to earlier animal statues never challenged the literal boundary between animal bodies and human ones, earlier monuments were reimagined as products of mainstream Hellenistic and Roman portrait culture.
