Description
A funeral speech was delivered almost every year in classical Athens. Forty years ago, Loraux showed how important it was for maintaining Athenian self-identity. But her famous book left many questions unanswered. In answering them, this volume puts the study of war in Athenian culture on a completely new footing.
