The 18th International Aegean Conference on the subject of Zoia(literally creatures endowed with an anima or life force) wasconceived and organized by Robert Laffineur and Tom Palaima, director ofthe Program in Aegean Scripts and Prehistory (PASP) in the Department ofClassics at The University of Texas at Austin, marking 30 years of theircollaboration on Aegaeum volumes and conferences. In the event, Covid-19forced the cancellation of the conference proper.This volume, however, testifies to the dedication of Aegeanist scholarsworldwide to accomplish the scholarly objectives of the proposedconference: to examine, from a wide range of specialist researchperspectives, how the human societies that developed in the Aegean areain the Middle and Late Bronze Age and the human beings within theminteracted with wild, domesticated and semi-domesticated animals of thesea, sky and land socio-politically, economically, religiously,ideologically, imaginatively and artistically. Diamantis Panagiotopoulosstresses in his keynote paper that the 28 papers in Zoia reflectthe dynamic development of Human-Animal Studies in the last twodecades.Papers are grouped under five main topics: identification of the animalenvironment; human uses of domesticated and wild animals, materialeconomy, diet and society; hybrid and fantastic creatures in animaliconography (seals, frescoes and other forms of representation); animalsin beliefs and religion (their contemporary symbolic uses and later usesas relics or heirlooms); and animals in texts (Indo-European andnon-Indo-European; Cretan Pictographic, Linear A, Linear B and laterHomeric and historical Greek).The results are comprehensive, eclectic, scientifically informative andintellectually provocative. They help us see protohistoric Aegeancultures as the non-human animals inextricably linked to them saw them.
