TY - GEN T1 - Restless dead : encounters between the living and the dead in ancient Greece A1 - Johnston, Sarah Iles, 1957- LA - English PP - Berkeley PB - University of California Press YR - 1999 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocm43477500 AB - Ancient Greek ideas about the dead evolved in response to changing social and cultural conditions - most notably changes associated with the development of the polis, such as funerary legislation, and changes due to increased contacts with cultures of the ancient Near East. Johnston presents and interprets these changes, using them to build a complex picture of the way in which the society of the dead reflected that of the living, expressing and defusing its tensions, reiterating its values and eventually becoming a source of significant power for those who knew how to control it.
