"Lord of Truth, father of the gods, who fashioned mankind and created beasts". So runs a hymn to the Theban god Amun-Re, indicative of the Ancient Egyptians' notion that no sharp division existed between themselves and fellow creatures. Indeed, they felt particularly close to their domestic animals, much as we do to our household pets. To some, notably dogs and cows, the Egyptians gave individual names ; others, such as cats and monkeys, were kept in the house. They were so familiar that they were represented in human postures in fables and caricatures. Geese and other birds, sheep, goats and pigs were needed for daily sustenance and for food offerings to both the gods and the deceased. Donkeys served as beasts of burden, whilst horses, used primarily for war, were status symbols for the upper class. Exotic foreign animals were regarded with awe and stimulated close observation of their characteristics. This same awe led the Egyptians to venerate all kinds of animals as divinities, although this religious aspect is beyond the scope of the present volume, which deeals solely with domestic animals in the daily lives of the peasants, the nobility and the royal court.
