Thousands of Greek verse epitaphs, covering a millennium of
history, survive inscribed or painted on stone. These largely
anonymous poems shed rich light on areas such as ancient moral
values, religious ideas, gender relations and attitudes, as well as
on the transmission and reception of 'canonical' poetry; many of
these poems are of very high literary quality. This is the first
modern commentary on a selection of these poems. Problems of
syntax, metre and language are fully explained, accompanied by
sophisticated literary discussion of the poems. There is a full
introduction to the nature of these poems and to their context
within Greek ideas of death and the afterlife. This comprehensive
edition will be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate
students studying Greek literature, as well as to scholars.
