Abstract: The article explores the images of afterlife in the society of Classical Athens, Greece, focusing on the sculptures and monuments of Hades and Elysion. It depicts the sculpted decoration of the pediment of a grave stele in the Archaeological Collection in Zurich, Switzerland, which was designed around 410 BC. It also demonstrates the sculpture of two women standing with a style of a figure closely related to that of Athena on a decree stele of 410/401 BC.
