Este ensayo explora el uso del mito griego, particularmente el episodio del sacrificio de prisioneros troyanos ejecutado por Aquiles ante la tumba de Patroklos (Il. XXIII, 175-176) en monumentos funerarios de Apulia y Etruria en el siglo IV a.C. Mediante una comparación iconográfica, se analizará el significado del mito en la ideología funeraria de estas culturas.
