SINGING THE DEAD - REYES BERTOLÍN CEBRIÁN GEBUNDEN

This book outlines the evolution of Greek heroic epic from funeral laments and creates a model
for epic evolution using Greek  other Indo-European  and non-Indo-European materials. Singing
the Dead conceives the epic as a post-Mycenean phenomenon associated with the first migrations
away from the ancestors' tombs to the Ionian coast. Physical separation from the tombs impelled
the development of narration concerning the ancestors and the rite at the tomb was substituted
by stories that eventually became epic.
