Summary Despite many years of intensive research into burial and funeral practices in Late Bronze Age (LBA) Greece, emotion remains largely absent from the discussion. Yet death and the emotions it provoked would have been familiar aspects of daily life in Mycenaean Greece. The dead had to be dealt with and moved on through various rites until they became a safe part of the landscape and memory of individuals and communities. In addition to anthropological and psychological research on death and grieving, we have several categories of evidence that can allow us a glimpse of the emotional world of death in LBA Greece: the Homeric poems the Iliad and Odyssey, iconographical representations of death, funeral practices and mourning, and the archaeological material itself – the tombs and offerings. In this paper, I introduce the various categories of evidence and draw on them to support an imaginative reconstruction of an event that happened, but which is not recorded in any historical sources – the death and burial of a great king of Mycenae. I argue that using emotion as a lens through which to view the evidence can sometimes allow deeper interpretation and enable fuller historical reconstructions of lived lives and experiences.

我将跟随你进入黑暗:迈锡尼皇家葬礼中的死亡与情感

总结尽管对希腊晚期青铜时代(LBA)的墓葬和fun葬实践进行了多年深入研究,但讨论中仍然缺乏情感。然而,迈锡尼希腊人的死亡和它引起的情绪是人们日常生活中熟悉的方面。必须处理死者并通过各种仪式继续前进,直到他们成为景观和对个人和社区记忆的安全部分。除了关于死亡和悲痛的人类学和心理学研究之外,我们还有几类证据可以使我们瞥见希腊LBA中的死亡情感世界:荷马史诗《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》,死亡的象形表示,葬礼活动和哀悼,以及考古材料本身–墓葬和祭品。在本文中,我介绍了各种证据,并利用它们来支持对发生的事件进行富有想象力的重建,但是在任何历史资料中都没有记录到这一点-迈锡尼伟大国王的死与葬礼。我认为,使用情感作为观察证据的镜头有时可以进行更深入的解释,并可以对生活和经历进行更全面的历史重建。
