{"product_id":"mummy-wheat-r-drew-griffith-9780761842989","title":"Mummy Wheat: Egyptian Influence on the Homeric View of the Afterlife and the Eleusinian Mysteries","description":"Homer presents a world-view in which death represents the end of consciousness and total annihilation of personhood. Yet in \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, Book Four, he contradicts this by saying that one man at least will not die, but will be transported to Elysium, where he will have a blessed existence forever. In \u003ci\u003eMummy Wheat\u003c\/i\u003e R. Drew Griffith argues that this shocking violation of Homer's normal world-view comes from Egypt, where more than anywhere else in the ancient world people firmly believed in life after death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e R.
