The deceased were presented as eternally young heroes, oblivious of old age and death, as stars shining with an eternal brightness in heavens or in Ether, or as the ones chosen by the gods, abducted by them to their home in the heavens or married to them in the other world (following the examples of Ganymede, Adonis, Hylas and Persephone). The author demonstrates that, for all their diversity, the common feature of these verse inscriptions was the praise of beauty of the dead. 410 0$aMnemosyne, Supplements$v352. 606 $aEschatology, Greco-Roman 606 $aInscriptions, Greek 606 $aSepulchral monuments$zGreece 606 $aEpitaphs$zGreece 615 0$aEschatology, Greco-Roman. 615 0$aInscriptions, Greek. 615 0$aSepulchral monuments 615 0$aEpitaphs 676 $a262.9/2 676 $a262.92 676 $a888.010209 700 $aWypustek$b Andrzej$0993827 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786568603321 996 $aImages of eternal beauty in funerary verse inscriptions of the Hellenistic and Greco-Roman periods$92275546 997 $aUNINA
