Présentation de l'éditeur
Lectures, partly because a simple title of this kind would have been natural to the Greeks and Romans, partly because I could not devise one which would describe it more exactly. An old Oxford rhyme has been in my mind :D onot to many lectures go, For whether you do so or no, You ll find the substance of his notes Much better in the books he quotes much better, no doubt, intrinsically, but often scattered, and not very accessible, and sometimes too controversial and complicated to be of use to the student. The Professional Scholar will not find much, if anything, that is new to him in this volume. It is not to him that it is addressed :P sium non cdro legere, Lad Uum Decumiim volo. This D.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the diverse beliefs of ancient Greece and Rome concerning life after death. The author traces the evolution of these beliefs from the Homeric era, marked by a relatively bleak view of the afterlife, through the rise of hero-worship and the cult of the dead, and finally to the more complex and nuanced ideas that emerged in the classical period. The book examines the significance of popular customs, such as bringing offerings to the tombs of the deceased, and explores the role of philosophers and poets in shaping beliefs about the afterlife. By synthesizing evidence from literature, inscriptions, and archaeological findings, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of the ancient Greek and Roman perspectives on mortality and the nature of existence beyond the grave, offering valuable insights into the beliefs and practices that shaped their civilizations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330571125_0
