Reading Greek Death


Overview

What was the origin of Charon, the ferryman of the dead? Or Hades and the Elysian Fields? This is an in-depth study of the beliefs, attitudes and rituals surrounding death in ancient Greece. Drawing on all kinds of evidence - from literary texts to images on art - the book also discusses the problems of ""reading"" this material without the intrusion of our own culturally-determined beliefs.
