丰富的说明，这基本卷检查描绘的社会在意大利南部的花瓶画，并探索他们背后的文化。

我们死后会发生什么?死后会是什么样子?对古希腊人来说，死去的人活着，由冥界的哈迪斯监督。我们读过罪人，比如西西弗斯永远在滚动他的石头，还有被赫拉克勒斯抓住的凶猛的看门狗Kerberos。对于凡人来说，仪式为确保来世的幸福生活提供了可能性，一些关于死亡丰富的证据来自意大利南部，当地的意大利人信奉希腊。纪念逝者的陪葬品花瓶上装饰着来自神话的慰藉场景，大约有40个花瓶保存着对冥王领地的精心描绘。

Abundantly illustrated, this essential volume examines depictions of the Underworld in southern Italian vase painting and explores the religious and cultural beliefs behind them.

What happens to us when we die? What might the afterlife look like? For the ancient Greeks, the dead lived on, overseen by Hades in the Underworld. We read of famous sinners, such as Sisyphus, forever rolling his rock, and the fierce guard dog Kerberos, who was captured by Herakles. For mere mortals, ritual and religion offered possibilities for ensuring a happy existence in the beyond, and some of the richest evidence for beliefs about death comes from southern Italy, where the local Italic peoples engaged with Greek beliefs. Monumental funerary vases that accompanied the deceased were decorated with consolatory scenes from myth, and around forty preserve elaborate depictions of Hades’s domain.
