About this ebook

Animal Symbolism explores the widespread use of animals as symbols in art, religion, and culture.
It investigates how these symbols originated, evolved, and continue to shape our understanding of the world.
For example, the dove's association with peace and the lion's representation of courage are not arbitrary; they are rooted in historical and cultural contexts.
The book reveals how understanding animal symbolism provides insights into human thought, belief, and artistic expression.

The book examines specific animals, such as serpents, birds, felines, and canines, across diverse societies.
It draws evidence from religious texts, folklore, and artistic traditions to highlight the cultural significance of these creatures.
The approach emphasizes the interplay between universal archetypes and culturally specific interpretations.

The book begins by defining key terms and outlining theoretical approaches, then delves into the symbolism of individual animals, and concludes with a comparative analysis, including case studies in modern contexts.
