Who ate the baby? ‘Canis’’ adaptation history visualized

The Sanskrit tale of the hasty father who kills the one who tried to protect his baby travels through medieval languages and cultures. While the narrative stays the same, the killed character changes from mongoose to weasel to dog to wife. The question this creative response asks is how a visualization of these three versions can highlight the transformation of the killed character, and the misogyny in the 11th century Greek translation. The visualization of the character change in three commented comics starring a mongoose, a dog, and the wife each, is a more effective option of addressing the difference in these versions. This is especially the case for the wife character and the underlying misogyny that has never been questioned by any translator of the Greek text even today.
