      ab: The article critiques Euphranor of Rhamnous which includes verses describing him as the Most Fortunate Athenian, being the first to die among the descendants. The article provides discussion of a Greek epithet and other Athenian verse epitaphs, and the figurative reference of death being compared to sleep. Details of death are shown in inscriptional funerary verses in the archaic period which gives Euphranor's epigram a metaphorical equation of death to sleep in its different ends.
