This review is from: The Greek Way of Death (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: The Greek Way of Death (Paperback)
Some of these books on myth that are written by professors can be difficult to read. This book is not like that. This book is easy to ready and understand. The information in it is very good. There is much about how the ancients thought about death that we just don't know. This book will tell you the little we do know about on how the Greeks thought about death. No definite answers, but very interesting.
