| description | This volume brings together scholars from different fields, exploring how early Indo-European communities understood and mythologized their natural and social environments. From sacred cattle and milk rituals to the chthonic symbolism of serpents and the mythological periphery of water, this interdisciplinary volume uncovers deep-rooted ecological imaginaries embedded in language, archaeology, and comparative mythology. With contributions spanning from the Indo-Iranian plains to the Baltic forests, the book reveals how beliefs about animals, agriculture and the household shaped Indo-European worldviews.
Rich in detail and accessible in style, Indo-European Ecologies offers new perspectives for scholars and curious readers alike. It is the second volume in the book series Stockholm Studies in Indo-European Language and Culture. |
