Attitudes to suicide differ between societies, and also change with time. 104 items of ancient art that show suicide have been examined and catalogued. These icons, the most distinctive of which are discussed here, confirm the view suggested by literary sources that in the Graeco-Roman world self-killing was preferably seen as a deliberate, resolute, and heroic act.
不同社会对自杀的态度存在差异,并且会随时间而变化。人们对104件展现自杀场景的古代艺术品进行了研究并编目。这些意象(此处讨论其中最具特色的)证实了文献资料所表明的观点,即在希腊罗马世界,自杀最好被视为一种蓄意、坚决且英勇的行为。
