This book addresses death and immortality by paralleling Plato’s philosophy of ‘becoming like God’ through exercising one’s intellect and virtues, with the Greek archaic and heroic way of gaining immortal glory through remarkable deeds.

Manuel Cojocaru obtained his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Bucharest in 2023, and is currently a Fellow at the University of Tübingen. His work focuses on revealing the implicit existential turmoil of the ancient Greek heroic path, while paralleling it with Plato’s philosophy in order to paint a complete image of ancient Greek views on death and immortality.
