Greeks and Their Animals.

Among the most delightful things that
we have learned through Prof. Gilbert
Murray's reconstruction Of the life Of the
ancient Greeks is that they regarded the
domestic animals as members of the tribe
and the family-the OK especially as a
sort Of kinsman and partner. Mark
hams poem calls THE Man With the
Hoe" (Millets paintng) brother to the
ox'' out Of pity and as a reproach to our
civilization. The Greeks spoke OF 'our
brother, the OK" out Of affection and re-
spect. Hesiod says that "A house. an
OK and . woman" are what q man needs
for the facing of the world. He also
speaks Of keeping the oxen indoors and
well fed In cold weather. The description
Of the sacrifice Of thanks at the home

Odyssey tells US that - the bull II struck
