The Greek Way of Death Review
Surveying funerary rites and attitudes toward death from the time of Homer to the fourth century BC, Robert Garland seeks to show what the ordinary Greek felt about death and the dead. The second edition features a substantial new prefatory essay in which Garland addresses recent questions and debates about death and the early Greeks. The book also includes an updated Supplementary Bibliography.
There are seven chapters.
1. The Power and Status of the Dead.
2. Dying
3. The Funeral
4. Between Worlds
5. Life in Hades.
6. The Special Dead.
7. Visiting the Tomb.
