Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the ways the ancient Greeks and Romans imagined the underworld and afterlife. Drawing on a wealth of primary source material, the author explores the development of these beliefs, from the Homeric epics to the writings of Virgil and beyond. The book provides an in-depth examination of the different traditions and beliefs about the underworld, and the ways they shaped cultural and religious practices in the ancient world. The underworld in the ancient Greek and Roman imagination was a realm of darkness, inhabited by the spirits or shades of the dead. This realm was often depicted as a place of punishment for the wicked, but also as a place of peace and rest for the righteous. The author traces the development of these beliefs, examining the role of religion, philosophy, and literature in shaping the ancient Greek and Roman understanding of the afterlife.
