الحيوانات المستأنسة و الحيوانات البرية في أدب العراق القديم

Abstract EN

The animal has shared its human existence and existence on the face of the earth.

The animal has shared its spatial space with it since its existence on this earth.

The animals have returned from the most living organisms to the human, and human contact with the animal has been harmful in the foot since it was eaten in its food.

The relationship between man and animal is as old as history itself, and the choice of man to the animal closest to him and its domestication is based on the benefit that can be obtained from this animal or that, because man often seeks to employ his connections and links with other living things to serve and pour in his favor.

The ancient Iraqis noted the characteristics that distinguish animals from others, and showed them in their effects and exploits.

Some of them symbolized deceit and deceit, such as foxes, and each other symbolized the fulfillment, like a dog, and others of oppression and strength, like lion.

The knowledge of the ancient Iraqis about the animal, and its psychology, made them resemble the actions of some people, and their disregard for animal qualities, warning them or criticizing them or praising them, which we find in many literature and proverbs
