Popis This paper is the result of my research into magic in antiquity at Masaryk University in Brno, particularly into the role of animals in ancient magic. It touches on the subject of difference between magic and religion, but the main focus is mapping every occurence of animal ingredient in Greek magical papyri and comparing the results of this research with description of animal magic in classical literature. The paper tries to answer, what can we tell about the society from the use of magic as we can see it in magical papyri and if the magic described in magical papyri is the same as the magic we know from the ancient literature and classical authors. Focus of the study is to emphasize these similarities and differences and try to explain why they are occuring.
