Summary[edit]

Description

The scientific name comes from Latin ardea "heron", and cinerea , "ash-grey" (from cineris ashes). In Ancient Egypt, the bird deity Bennu, associated with the sun, creation, and rebirth, was depicted as a heron in New Kingdom artwork. In Ancient Rome, the heron was a bird of divination that gave an augury (sign of a coming event). The art of interpreting signs was common to Greeks and Romans . The Greeks, when observing the flight of birds, turned their face towards the north, and then a bird appearing to the right (east), especially an eagle, a heron, or a falcon, was a favourable sign; while birds appearing to the left (west) were considered as unlucky signs.

Научное название происходит от латинского Ardea - "цапля", и cinerea - "пепельно-серая" (от cineris - "пепел").

В Древнем Египте птица Бену, древнеегипетский бог вечной жизни или возрождения, олицетворяющая солнце, имела вид цапли. В Древнем Риме цапля служила птицей гадания, являясь предзнаменованием предстоящего события. Искусство интерпретации знаков было общим для греков и римлян. Греки при наблюдении за полетом птиц поворачивались лицом к северу, и если птицы появлялись справа (с востока), в частности, орел, цапля или сокол, это было благоприятным знаком; в то время как птицы, появляющиеся слева (с запада) считались знаками неудачи.
