_The Athenian Demosion Sema: _

_Problems of Definition_

_ _

At some point after the Persian Wars, the Athenian war dead began to be
systematically brought back home, instead of being buried on the
battlefield. They were buried in 'the most beautiful suburb of the
city', the Kerameikos, within a place which is currently defined, in
light of a passage by Thucydides (2.34.5), as _'Demosion sema'_.

This paper calls into question the toponymization of Thucydides'
expression _'demosion sema'_ (literally 'public tomb'). In light of
literary, toponomastic and topographical evidence, it argues first that
Thucydides' 'demosion sema' refers instead to the public tomb of the war
dead in that precise year (same as the expressions 'demosion/demosia
sema/semata' or 'mnema/mnemata' in other literary sources). Second, it
argues that the attribution of Thucydides' expression to the whole
cemetery might derive from an arbitrary and anachronistic
retro-projection of our modern experience of national cemeteries for the
fallen, such as Redipuglia or Arlington (just to mention a few among
hundreds) which have a specific name, and (differently from Athens'
Kerameikos) appear as very homogeneous, both topographically and
functionally.
