Relief decoration showing episodes of heroic myth and battles served to enhance the status of the dead in tomb iconography; being the Amazonomachy the single most popular subject on fourthcentury BCfunerary monuments. Today, it is widely accepted that the popularity of the subject is indebted to its presence in the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos and other eastern funerary monuments, but little has been said about the myth's connotations when placed in different geographic areas. This paper will explore the funerary uses of the Amazonomachy through both a contextual and an iconographic analysis of its presence on Attic and Tarantine funerary naiskoi.

En este proceso, se ha argumentado que las representaciones de batallas y sacrificios inspirados en la mitologia griega presentes en monumentos funerarios hacia el final del periodo clasico, buscaban reafirmar la identidad etrusca al compararse con los heroes griegos y, de este modo, desvalorizar a los romanos. Luego de analizar el programa iconografico de dos sarcofagos provenientes de Tarquinia, veremos que tales interpretaciones no son del todo correctas, puesto que suelen ignorar importantes aspectos que obedecen a una tradicion y no representan, necesariamente, un espiritu propagandista en contra de Roma.

En este análisis, se examinarán algunos aspectos iconográficos de esta estela votiva y su rol en el contexto sociocultural helenístico en tanto monumento honorífico a la vez que conmemorativo. Por último y haciendo uso de algunas fuentes literarias y evidencia arqueológica, se analizará la cuestión del estatus divino de algunos poetas y su contribución a la educación (paideia) en la antigua Grecia.
