Reviews

Wypustek's book is provocative and stimulating, and raises further questions (...) The selection of epigrams, many of which not commonly known, is fascinating and a source of pleasure to the reader. Julia Lougovaya-Ast, sehepunkte 13 (2013), Nr. 11 [15.11.2013]. [T]he book offers a welcome and well-argued alternative view of Hellenistic and Roman funerary epigrams that succesfully questions previous soteriological and eschatological interpretations of the material. (...) Certainly, one of the most pleasant features of this study is the ability of its author always to remain critical without ever appearing dogmatic. Joannis Mylonopoulos, Mnemosyne 67 (2014), 513-517.
