Restless Dead: Encounters between the Living and the Dead in Ancient Greece is a fascinating and important book that explores the fear of the actions of the dead in ancient Greece. The author traces the development of this fear from Homeric times to classical times, shedding light on the restless dead and their motivations. The book draws parallels with other cultures and phenomena such as vampire contagions and the cult of saints. Although the author's writing style can be wordy at times, this is a well-researched and insightful look into a lesser-known aspect of classical Greece.
