Using both Hansen's corpus of epigrams and wider examples, it gives priority to those cases where the whole monument ensemble is preserved, both text and image, enabling a much better understanding of the significance of the texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA thematic structure within a broader chronological framework provides a valuable lens on the epigrams, allowing readers to compare particular types across the time period. After introducing the funerary landscape in which the selected epigrams fit, Gonz疝ez briefly considers the literary form of epigrams as a foil for the rest of the book. The remaining chapters focus on epitaphs of individuals in the most significant stages of life, where gender differences are most marked: themes include untimely death, women and wives, friendship, piety and non-kin love. All epigrams are offered in Greek, followed by an English translation. The analysis focuses on the literary aspects of the epigrams, as well as on the information they provide about both society and religion of ancient Greece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marta Gonz疝ez Gonz疝ez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350182885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350182882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.47d","brand":"Marta Gonz疝ez Gonz疝ez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942658343167,"sku":"9781350182882","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ffe82826-9af9-4dce-b35e-a265004a186b.jpg?v=1681493616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/funerary-epigrams-of-ancient-greece-marta-gonz-lez-gonz-lez-9781350182882","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
