-
Burial is very critical.
-
If you remember from reading the Iliad and Odyssey,
-
it is absolutely critical in the Greek religion
-
that people be properly buried,
-
because if they're not,
-
then their shade goes on forever in misery and pain.
-
They cannot rest quietly in Hades
-
unless their body has been properly buried;
-
so you got to do it.
-
The losing side must come to the winning side
-
and they must ask permission to
-
pick up their dead and bury them.
