References to the past play a significant role on many levels in
both modern and ancient societies. What societies choose to
remember and how they do it can be seen in relation to their
social, religious, and moral world view. Ancient societies invested
heavily in remembrance, and the memory of remarkable individuals
and significant events was deliberately perpetuated through both
literature and material culture. The papers in this volume discuss
the topic of the deliberate creation of memory in relation to both
literary and material evidence from the Graeco-Roman world. They
range in time from the Greek Archaic period to Late Antiquity. A
major aim of the collection as a whole is an attempt to cast light
on the relationship between an individual's gender and social
status and the existence of opportunities for ensuring that he or
she would be remembered after death.
