SUMMARY:The Death of the Individual:
DTSTART:20200128T230000Z

DESCRIPTION:Ancient Greek beliefs about death and afterlife held firm 
 on the notion that the deceased must receive burial in order to be acc
 epted into the underworld. The manner of burial or the type of grave t
 hat received the deceased\, however\, appear to have been immaterial w
 ith regards to religious belief. Greek burial customs showed great var
 iation regionally\, temporally\, or sometimes even within a single cem
 etery at any given time. Was the preservation of the mortal remains of
  the dead completely inconsequential in Greek religion? What level of 
 care was shown to retain a degree of the bodily cohesion\, individuali
 ty\, and personhood of the deceased? This paper uses two case studiesâ
 €”the commingled inhumations in the crowded graves of Argos and the ca
 refully sealed monolithic sarcophagi of Corinth—to explore the attit
 udes towards the human body after death in Greek thought and mortuary 
 behavior.
