| Sumario: | In this article, a comparison will be made between the speech that Achilles, in the Iliad, addresses in front of Patroclus’s body, and some of the Attic funerary epigrams from the Classical Age (compiled by Hansen). The goal of this comparison is neither stylistic nor syntactic, but tracking ideas and concepts; it intends to achieve a greater knowledge of what it was that both Homeric and Classical societies had in mind when facing death. It will begin with Achilles’s speech, where the concepts that also appear in the epigrams will be highlighted. So, it will be evident in which way some ideas remained through the centuries and why. |
