For other views of various Greek sages, try Empedocles and Heraclitus too. The Stoics believed it was possible to survive death if your soul was strong and harmonious, but a slack soul would fade to nothing. Epicureans believed the soul died with the body. But the views of others might surprise you!

I’m going to do a little more research. If you have any websites that would be helpful I’d love to know.

The Greeks had many different ideas of the afterlife, depending on whom you ask. The Homeric approach is ‘hungry ghosts’, but the various mystery schools had different approaches, as did the Orphics, Pythagoreans and Platonists.

Your site is one of the most serious one out here, and also one of the most clear as well! =)
Again thanks!

The only real information I have found dealing with the afterlife would have more to do with the myths surrounding Hades, the underworld, the River Styx etc. After what research I did, it seemed they really didn’t have definite ideas. Good luck with your research. I would love to know what you find out.

I know they dont focus on the afterlife but, I was hoping there might be some art that depicts the afterlife. Do you know of any?
