Tragic Mythography
Authors: Meccariello Chiara 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter surveys the intersections of Greek tragedy and mythography in antiquity. The first section focuses on passages and aspects of extant tragedies that betray the influence of mythography. The second deals with the production and use of mythography in the ancient study of tragedy, taking into account specialized works, introductory and interpretive material, and plot summaries. Finally, the third section examines the presence of tragedies as sources in the extant mythographical production. This survey suggests that the last two decades of the 5th century bce constitute a crucial period in what we may call “coevolution” of tragedy and mythography, as evidenced both by the density of mythographical patterns in the late plays of Euripides and by the emergence of myth-related research on tragedy between the 5th and 4th centuries bce.
Catasterisms
Authors: Zucker Arnaud 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter focuses on both the myths related to the constellations and the Hellenistic and Roman literary collections that catalogue and tell the origin of the celestial figures. This type of story, diffused throughout the literature since the classical period, is in the Hellenistic period (with Eratosthenes) organized in a true genre that conflates mythological content and astronomical data, and spreads widely in the Latin tradition. The labels “catasterism” and “catasterization” for this kind of scholarly literature refer to a cultural procedure (identifying the stars with heroic figures) and a narrative episode (i.e. the transfer of a hero or a meaningful object into the heavenly vault). The meaning and the context of the astral promotion of heroic figures are distinct from metamorphosis, apotheosis, or heroic death. These specific hybrid narratives try to link experience of the world and heritage stories and to turn diverse pictures, sometimes borrowed from other cultures, into a Greek synthetic general scheme. They reveal the function of the myth as a cultural catalyst, merging, in a cultural compromise, naturalistic observations, scholarly data, rational demands, and imagination. This chapter also emphasizes the originality and consistency of the astromythical program developed in antiquity and stresses the impact of astronomical knowledge in the shaping of traditional myths and innovative custom-made variants.
Mythography in the Latin West
Authors: Garstad Benjamin 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In the Middle Ages in western Europe mythography was intended to set out in clear narrative terms and explain the body of myth that might only be alluded to in the corpus of Classical Latin literature that was still read throughout this period. It might have had the further intention of refuting the error of pagan belief about the gods and rendering myth innocuous by subjecting its unseemly tales to interpretation, especially through allegory. Much of the substance and method of medieval mythography was based on the seminal work of Fulgentius and Isidore of Seville, who wrote at the close of the classical epoch and the opening of the Middle Ages. The work of mythography was done in larger encyclopedias, histories, and commentaries, but there were also specialist treatises, most notably, the books of the three Vatican Mythographers and Conrad of Mure’s Fabularius. Heroic myths were also recounted, as well as thoroughly adapted and modified, in the popular literature of the period, perhaps most prominently in Benoît de Sainte Maure’s French poem Le Roman de Troie and its Latin prose translation by Guido delle Colonne.
Imperial Mythography
Authors: Delattre Charles 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter aims to describe what is specifically imperial in imperial mythography, in comparison with what can be reconstructed of Hellenistic mythographic practices. The sheer number of documents (papyri, complete texts) from the imperial era is a huge change and modifies our knowledge and even definition of mythography. The study focuses on the diversity of mythographic practices, and characterizes them as a specific mode of understanding, listing, and conveying information. Mythographic texts of the imperial time can be read as a kind of secondary literature, as summaries of or commentaries on a literary work, but they are also a way to organize and combine different sources into a common textual production that will be accessed in different forms. The study acknowledges that we cannot dismiss the proximity of mythography to other literary practices. In this respect, mythography is almost coextensive with cultured literacy. As a consequence, we can get access to some aspects of the social importance of mythography in the imperial elite circles. Mythography not as written text but as oral statement happens everywhere in elite circles, where erudition is not only a matter of taste but is also a way to gain social prestige. Some mythographic texts can be conceived as tools; others, as a reflection of a social rivalry embedded in mythological erudition.
Mythography in Latin
Authors: Smith R. Scott 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter provides a survey of the various ways that Greek mythographical information was transmitted in Latin. The first section offers an overview of the surviving collections devoted almost entirely to mythographical material, the Fabulae and the second book of De Astronomia, both attributed to someone named Hyginus, as well as the collection of mostly star myths embedded in the so-called Germanicus scholia. The second half of the chapter provides a review of the mythographical material found in the surviving exegetical traditions for major Roman poets, Vergil, Statius, and the Ovidian Narrationes, all of which was transmitted in Latin to match the target text of study.
A study of the agallamh tradition: two Munster agallaimh (dialogue songs) collected by James Goodman
Authors: Uí Dhonnabháin Miriam 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter examines two sung agallaimh or dialogue songs, called ‘Seaghanín Aorach’ and ‘William O’Reilly’, collected by James Goodman in Munster in the mid-nineteenth century. It considers the genre of the agallamh in cross-cultural contexts, its considerable longevity across more than eight centuries in Ireland, the particular interest in the genre displayed by James Goodman’s nineteenth-century collection, and the ways in which sung agallaimh can be distinguished from other, associated forms. Ultimately, the agallamh is shown to be descended from an ancient tradition, but one which was still a part of the everyday culture of the people of Munster in the nineteenth century.
Imagining Stories of and with Animals at Work
Authors: Connolly Lucy 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter explores how narrative practices construct caring relationships between humans and horses at work. It demonstrates, through the use of the Listening Guide method for interpreting interview transcripts, how human workers construct voice on behalf of horses. While acknowledging such constructions do not claim to reflect the reality of the lived experiences of horses, the Listening Guide method offers a ‘way in’ to access the construction of relationship between animal and human, and how humans engaged in human-animal work come to understand the nature of their roles in context. This chapter is grounded within the ethic of care framework, specifically addressing the embodied caring imagination. The narratives examined are based upon 20 qualitative, semi-structured interviews from a range of equine-related organizational contexts. The stories created within these transcripts reveal moments of connection, resistance, or desire on the part of the horses. In these stories, the participants are heard ‘giving voice’ to the horses by literally speaking their side of the conversation. The chapter highlights the ability of the Listening Guide method to provide a space for the researcher to demonstrate the construction of self on behalf of another while acknowledging the power implicit in both the interview process and such narrative constructions, while also enabling a window into the creation of the two-sided relationship necessary for the completion of care, where only one party to the relationship has ‘voice’.
Animal Organization Studies and the Foundational Economy
Authors: Goodwin-Hawkins Bryonny 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter brings animal organization studies into conversation with emerging thinking on the ‘foundational economy’—the goods, services, and infrastructures that support everyday lives, everywhere. To date, foundational economy thinkers have focused on human lives; this chapter considers foundational economic activities that incorporate animal lives, labour, and products. Examples from the agrifood sector (including the dairy industry and rare breed farming) are used to show how human-animal relationships intertwine in shared everyday lives. These examples further reveal the consequences of prioritizing economic value over wellbeing. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research towards exploring, understanding, and, ultimately, revaluing the foundational economy from a multispecies perspective.
Barbaric, Feral, or Moral? Stereotypical Dairy Farmer and Vegan Discourses on the Business of Animal Consumption
Authors: Taylor Nik , Fraser Heather , Stekelenburg Naomi , King Julie 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The business of meat eating and other forms of animal consumption has been globally institutionalized, with most governments such as those in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, providing large subsidies to ensure their continued viability. This transfer of public funds continues in spite of extensive evidence of animal agricultures environmental impact with justifications on the protection of rural and regional jobs—especially for traditional, non-Indigenous men. This reflects how animal farming is still etched in the dominant masculine representations of ‘true’ ‘Kiwi’ and ‘Aussie’ national identities. Carnism, or the assumed naturalness of meat eating, and associated practices of animal consumption are, however, being challenged. Worldwide there has been a notable rise in veganism, especially by women, who have long been part of animal welfare and rights movements. These competing discourses about the ethics and morality of using animals for food, clothing, entertainment, and testing have been enlivened by social media, where discussions can become intensely emotive, if not hostile. The chapter explores the competing discourses about animal consumption promoted by dairy farmers and vegans respectively based on analysis of The Dairy Farmers’ Wellbeing Project (2017–19) and the Vegan Wellbeing Project (2019–20). From this data, the tendency for dairy farmers to portray vegans as feral and vegans to portray dairy farmers as barbaric are explored. And as the chapter shows, this struggle over morality is not only gendered and very active in public life but there is a significant impact on markets, jobs, and future industry directions.
Breeding Profits
Authors: Rees Amanda 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter provides a historical context for animal organizational studies by examining selected aspects of human/animal relationships as they evolved from the early-modern period to the present day. It explores how late eighteenth-century improvers turned animals into factories for converting sunlight into profit, and how nineteenth-century social mobility created the modern-day pet industry. It considers the exponential growth of interest in wild animals in the twentieth century, the mechanics and profitability of their display in captivity, and the strategies for their study in the field, before turning to the growth of interest in animal agency and anthropomorphism in twenty-first-century scholarship and its implications for the livestock industry. Fundamentally, this chapter charts the different contexts in which animals are regarded as raw materials, as tools, or as people—and asks what this can tell us about wider human(e) relationships in the Anthropocene.
Stockfree’s Short Shadow
Authors: Hirth Steffen 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Academic, policy, and public debates have increasingly led to calls for the adoption of plant rich diets. Livestock’s ‘long shadow’—its high environmental footprint—and the need to transform food systems towards sustainable practices are widely recognized. However, despite their incremental normalization, vegan and vegetarian diets can still lead to fierce debates between people with different dietary identities. Arguing that identity-based understandings of who or what is ‘vegan’ obfuscate necessary changes in production and provisioning practices, this contribution develops a wider understanding of vegan food practices by shedding light on stockfree organic agriculture’s organization, biomateriality, and its ‘short’ shadow. The chapter makes a contribution to food system organizing with a practice approach.
Empathy and Inclusion
Authors: Aaltola Elisa 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter explores the potential uses of empathy within organizations. It focuses on the moral dimensions of these uses, particularly in the context of animal ethics. The fundamental questions raised in this chapter are threefold. First, what are the social and moral benefits of empathy? Secondly, how do these benefits manifest in de facto animal ethics? Thirdly, should organizations seek to enhance empathy, so as to better pay heed to the wellbeing of nonhuman animals? To help provide a means of thinking about such questions, the chapter introduces six different varieties of empathy and analyses their potential role in making sense of the perspectives and moral consideration of nonhuman animals. The chapter examines recent critiques of empathy, which posit that empathy hinders rather than aids moral inclusion, together with some possible counter arguments. By providing a framework for thinking with, this chapter contributes a new type of organizational philosophy that demonstrates how to pay attention to the experiences and moral worth of nonhuman animals.
COVID-19 and Zoonotic Disease
Authors: Clarke Caroline , Barthold Charles , Cole Matthew 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
How many of us knew that warnings of a future pandemic, based on the emergence of novel zoonotic diseases linked to our treatment, exploitation, and industrial scale consumption of animals, were published by experts decades ago? For context, the animal-industry-complex is worth billions of dollars, and its manipulation of our consumptive tastes has normalized human ingestion of billions of animals each year. To satisfy demand and maximize profit, animals are bred and kept in horrendous conditions, without adequate space, light, or ventilation, as well as suffering long periods of transportation that lowers their immune system and heightens their stress levels. Despite these practices, the root cause of pandemics has been persistently ignored. In 2020, the UN Environment Programme published a report called Preventing the Next Pandemic: Zoonotic Diseases and How to Break the Chain of Transmission, listing seven key drivers, six of which relate to our relationship with animals. Why, given the millions of lives, and trillions of dollars lost to COVID-19, is there still no urgent public debate about the root causes of pandemics? This chapter contends that this is the result of multiple strategies of agnosis designed to promote ignorance and protect the interests of the animal-industrial-complex. Ignorance concerning the link between pandemic risks and mass animal consumption, is sustained through a series of deliberate strategies, reminiscent of those deployed by the tobacco industry—including knowledge suppression. Crucially, absent knowledge within the public domain prevents us from re-organizing to counteract the next, and potentially more lethal, global pandemic.
Infidelity Across the Ovulatory Cycle
Authors: Mitchell Virginia E. , Lunge Jenna M. , Orille Alex , Hughes Mercedes , Welling Lisa L. M. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The circumstances under which infidelity occurs are numerous and several characteristics predict prior and future infidelity (e.g., religiosity, number of lifetime sexual partners, sociosexuality). Evolutionary perspectives inform why steroid hormones that vary across the ovulatory cycle have been associated with both women’s interest in extrapair partners and shifting expressions of men’s anti-infidelity behavior across their partner’s ovulatory cycle. This chapter provides an overview of the ovulatory cycle to establish the physiological basis of the hormonal changes that occur across it. It then provides requisite background on evolutionary theories of human mating, which provide a framework to predict when women should express the most interest in extrapair partnerships, how current partner qualities are associated with desire for extrapair mating opportunities, and the types of qualities women may be seeking in extrapair partners. Evidence that supports and contradicts these accounts of ovulatory phase-dependent changes in extrapair partnerships, as well as research on male anti-infidelity strategies, is then considered. Finally, the chapter reviews evidence that hormonal contraceptives may alter partner preference patterns established in naturally cycling women and their opposite-sex partners. It concludes by identifying current gaps in hormone-linked shifts in women’s infidelity desires and behavior, and makes recommendations for future research.
Long-Term Infidelities
Authors: Weiser Dana A. , Cravens Pickens Jaclyn , Thomas Adam V. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of the development and nature of long-term infidelities (i.e., infidelity characterized by emotional attachment and that persists over time). We will discuss the frequency of such long-term infidelities and explore individual, relational, and contextual factors associated with committing long-term infidelities. Specific focus will be given to the nature of long-term infidelities that form and transpire online. Emotional responses to long-term infidelities and relationship outcomes following discovery of long-term infidelities will be explored. We will also examine how long-term infidelities have the potential to impact a broader family system, beyond the infidelity transgressor and victim. Finally, we offer suggestions for future research about long-term infidelities.
Relationship Dissolution Following Infidelity
Authors: Shanholtz Caroline E. , Sbarra David A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Although marital infidelity is often cited as a primary reason for divorce, it does not always signify the end of a relationship. Many researchers and clinicians have questioned whether an extramarital affair is a symptom of a dysfunctional marriage that is headed for divorce or the proximal cause of the separation. More than half of individuals who have extramarital affairs divorce or separate from their spouse. In the current chapter, we answer the question: In what ways can infidelity shape postdivorce emotional reactions and recovery—that is, trajectories of adjustment over time? There are two identified factors that inhibit postdivorce adjustment: attachment-related emotion regulation and emotional suppression. Further, the mechanisms driving postdivorce adjustment, self-concept clarity and narrative coherence, are discussed in the context of how infidelity can be interpreted as a humiliating event and predict poorer postdivorce adjustment. When infidelity occurs and divorce follows, if infidelity is interpreted as a humiliating event, or if it is experienced as a targeted rejection to one’s sense of self, these predict poorer divorce adjustment and depression. Suggestions for future research in this area are discussed.
Violence and Homicide Following Partner Infidelity
Authors: Arnocky Steven , Davis Adam , Locke Ashley , McKelvie Larissa , Vaillancourt Tracy 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Infidelity is one of the greatest adaptive challenges of our reproductive lives. A partner’s infidelity can lead to their defection from the relationship and offspring, loss of important resources, and for men, cuckoldry. It is unsurprising, then, that humans have evolved adaptations meant to prevent, curtail, and punish a partner’s infidelity. Among the most devastating of these are the perpetration of intimate partner violence, homicide, uxoricide, and filicide. This chapter reviews theory and supporting evidence that aggression has evolved, in part, as an adaptive set of behavior meant to prevent and respond to infidelity. It begins by describing the particular reproductive challenges posed by infidelity for men and women. Next, it reviews the available evidence that violence and killing is an abhorrent, yet predictable response to real or suspected infidelity, with attention paid to sex differences in these acts. The putative adaptive functions of different types of aggression toward an intimate partner, a sexual rival, and toward offspring are discussed. It then highlights the important role of perceptual biases surrounding infidelity and negative affect, including jealousy and anxiety, in mediating aggressive responses to infidelity. Finally, adaptive explanations of individual differences, cultural contexts, and environmental factors in predicting violent responses to infidelity are discussed and future directions are offered in order to highlight the pressing need for continued research on the adaptive functions of violence occurring in the shadow of infidelity.
Male Sexual Coercion in Response to Mate Infidelity
Authors: Abrams Lidia Dengelegi , Abrams Mike 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The power to restrain women’s sexuality has taken many forms. Historically, men have been entitled and even encouraged to reprimand their wives physically, and forced sex was not excluded as a means of rebuke and control. Marital rape, which many have been considered an oxymoron as one could not rape something owned, has been used to punish a woman judged to be unfaithful. The long list of restraints and coercive acts served the ultimate purpose of limiting women’s sexual access, or desirability, to competing males. To better understand these processes, this chapter explores the often brutal but evolutionarily old control strategies that have been deployed when males have feared or suspected infidelity. Intimate partner violence is often paired with sexual coercion when female infidelity is suspected. Sexual coercion is one of several methods of mate guarding, preventing or avenging cuckoldry. The variables that affect the decision to apply coercive methods and other tactics of mate guarding are discussed. Research is presented indicating sexual selection pressures (i.e., evolution) is the ultimate cause of forced in-pair copulation, notwithstanding the proximate causes of religion, culture, traditions, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of the men and women involved in the dynamic of sexual coercion in response to real or perceived female infidelity. Case studies of couples experiencing the dynamics of female infidelity and male sexual coercion are presented, along with an evolutionarily informed cognitive therapy that may provide a useful treatment mechanism.
