@medieval_illuminations I checked. All the way back to Hesiod.And the film's authors (screenwriters?) Beverley Cross & Jan Read did do their Classics homework. Probably wouldn't be allowed these days - can't get a copyright agreement with the dead.
@amenonsen @medieval_illuminations I agree. The distinctiveness of vultures is their bald heads.Unless this is one of those bestiaries where the artists had never seen the animal.
