| الوصف: | This contribution approaches human-animal relations in Late Bronze Age Crete through a case study of bull-men. These hybrid creatures that combine human and bull features appear only on seals in the Final Palatial period. An analysis of the modes of hybridity encountered in LBA Crete in relation to the human body serves as a starting point for understanding the role of these bull‑ -men in Minoan cognition. The respective seals are considered regarding their materiality, find spots, and contextual information in order to gain a picture of the societal level they were operating on. Set against our current knowledge of socio-political structures in the Final Palatial period, it is argued that the seals were commissioned and owned by high-ranking social units who selected this new imagery as part of a political strategy during a time of socio-political competition. |
