<p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">In the final book of Ovid’s <i>Metamorphoses</i>, Pythagoras is provided with a speech
that can be read as both the defence of and argument for vegetarianism. There are, however, a number of important delimitations built into the speech that add to its significance. For Pythagoras, eating animals is ‘impious’ (<i>nefas</i>). The position is
unequivocal: ‘Refrain from polluting your bodies with such an impious feast’ (<i>Parcite, mortales, dapibus temerare nefandis/corpora!</i>) The inclusive use of the second person plural imperative <i>parcite</i> (‘refrain from’) reenforcing both the coverage
as well the urgency of the claim. While the act of killing may be justified if animals menace human life—Ovid even argues that such killings occur without ‘impiety’—it remains the case that animals ‘should not be eaten’ (<i>non epulanda fuerunt</i>). For Ovid,
and the claim is a specific one, they should not be killed to be eaten. In order to justify his position he refers to ‘former time’ (<i>vetus ... aetas</i>) in which it was possible to live in ‘peace’ with animals. To the extent that this argument can be sustained,
rights-based arguments no longer pertain since human/animal relations can be redescribed in terms of war and therefore the Ovidian legacy is the question of the possibility of living in peace with animals. The aim of the talk therefore is to investigate the
extent to which Ovid’s <i>Metamorphoses</i> can be used to develop an argument for a relationship with animals structured in terms of peace rather than in terms of rights. While it falls beyond the remit of the talk, what this does is connect the question
of the animal to more general philosophical concerns with peace, as for example occurs in Kant’s <i>Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch</i> (1795).</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
