The book explores the theme of death and burial in ancient Greek tragedy, particularly in Attic drama. The author delves into the various beliefs and customs surrounding death and burial in ancient Greece, as depicted in plays such as Sophocles' Antigone and Euripides' Alcestis. Grieve examines the role of the dead in these plays, as well as the rituals and practices that were performed to honor them. She also explores the relationship between death and the gods, and how their influence was reflected in the tragic plays of the time.
