The Greek Way of Death
"Presents a great deal of interesting material clearly and attractively... this enjoyable and attractive book has done much to get Death away from the cemetery and put it back where the Prayer Book tells us it is to be fouind 'in the midst of life'. Robert Parker, JACT Review... a rich and remarkably complex collection of the abundant but scattered literary, artistic and archaeological evidence on death in the ancient world. Jon D Mikalson, American Historical Review... can be recommended to the Greekless reader and the classicist alike for its concentration of ancient testimonia unencumbered by theory and laced with good sense... a book I have already recommended to students. Sarah P Morris, Phoenix"--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
