<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'garamond' , serif">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
<i>'Demosion sema'</i>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'garamond' , serif"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'garamond' , serif">This paper calls into question the toponymization of Thucydides' expression
<i>'demosion sema'</i> (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.</span></p>
