The author sheds new light on aspects of the beliefs, attitudes,
and rituals surrounding death in ancient Greece from the Minoan and
Mycenean period to the end of the classical age. She draws on
different types of evidence - from literary texts to burial
customs, inscriptions, and images in art - to explore the
fragmentary and problematic evidence for the reconstruction of
attitudes towards, and the beliefs and practices pertaining to
death and the afterlife. The book is also a sophisticated critique
of the methodologies appropriate for interpreting the evidence for
ancient beliefs. Insights from athropology and other disciplines
help to inform the reconstruction of these beliefs and to minimize
the intrustion of culturally determined assumptions which reflect
modern thinking rather than ancient realities.
