  • Pigs, widespread in societies around the world since neolithic times, have been used for many purposes in art, literature, and other expressions of human culture. In classical times, the Romans considered pork the finest of meats, enjoying sausages, and depicting them in their art. Across Europe, pigs have been celebrated in carnivals since the Middle Ages, becoming specially important in Medieval Germany in cities such as Nuremberg, and in Early Modern Italy in cities such as Bologna. In literature, both for children and adults, pig characters appear in allegories, comic stories, and serious novels. In art, pigs have been represented in a wide range of media and styles from the earliest times in many cultures. Pig names are used in idioms and animal epithets, often derogatory, since pigs have long been linked with dirtiness and greed, while places such as Swindon are named for their association with swine. The eating of pork is forbidden in Islam and Judaism, but pigs are sacred in some other religions. (en)
  • Домашние свиньи и дикие свиньи — кабаны (вепри) начиная с древнейших времён занимают важное место в мировой религии, мифологии и культуре. В мифологии домашние свиньи больше связаны с культом плодородия; дикие вепри, вооруженные, в отличие от первых, клыками, больше воспринимаются как опасные существа и встречаются в историях об охоте. Свинья может символизировать прожорливость, эгоизм, похоть, упрямство и норов, невежество; но также и материнство, плодовитость и изобилие, процветание, счастье. (ru)
