Excerpt from De Mortuorum Iudicio
Haec Rohdii sententiam impugnant, nam omnino fieri non potest, quin éxa1égw3'c in hoc verborum contextu significet: et supra terram et sub terra, ut nulla iam difficultate impediamur (nam et 3avo'wss de eis mortuis posse dici, quorum unimae redeant in terram, nemo negabit nisi qui nimis acute versum studet explicare), ne et supra terram et sub terra animas in se scelera admitters ideoque pnniri utrobiqne statuamus, quamvis obscurae sint nobis theologorum illorum opiniones. At non iam obscurae sunt: vide quae dixerit A. Dieterich, Nekyia p. Lll/112: 'dab das Ver gehen drunten nichts anderes ist, als die durch falsche Lockungen und sinu liche Vorspiegelnngen verschuldete falsche Wahl eines neuen Lebens loses, ist durch den Vergleich platonischer Stellen erkannt worden'. Rem publicam dicit p. 617d a Luebberto explanatam, Ind. Lect. Bonn. P. XIX sq. Vide etiam Dieterichium, 1. S. P. 115. Neque ad suam sententiam me adduxit Ernestus Maass, Orpheus p. 271 sq.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores opinions on the mortality of the soul that were spreading in Greece and then throughout Rome from the 4th century BCE onwards. The author explores the writings of Plato, Pindar and other philosophers and influential thinkers of the period, to understand what they believed awaited people after death. The author discusses the concept of post-mortem judgment, where the soul stands before judges who determine where it should go based on how the person lived during their life. The beliefs around how people would be punished or rewarded in the afterlife changed over time, with Plato expounding upon earlier judicial and judgment-based ideas and introducing new concepts such as the transmigration and reincarnation of souls, and establishing ideas such as Elysian paradise as the destination for those found worthy. Stoicism and Epicureanism later challenged the idea of post-mortem judgment and punishment or rewards, but it continued to be a popular idea among the masses. This book provides valuable insight into the beliefs and philosophies that shaped perceptions of morality and the afterlife during this important period in our history.
