This volume offers the first in-depth study of Attic funerary monuments during the geometric, archaic, and classical periods. The analysis of forms, images and inscriptions shows the Athenian attitude towards death in its fundamental difference to Christian occidental views. This anthropological view of the graves also allows valuable real- and cultural-historical conclusions to be drawn about the Athenians and their time.
