This volume compiles interdisciplinary papers by international scholars on the theme of journeys of the soul and katabasis in antiquity. Drawing upon the research literature on the nature of the world beyond, journeys of the soul, and journeys to Hades, these essays expand the perspective to explore philosophical issues and contextualize them in relation to current research discourse.
