Seeing the Nymphs Naked?

[Nathan Ross]

I prefer the image of him revelling in the Dacian dead!

revelling in the Dacian dead? :woot:

"...we think that who dedicate the tombstone has finished the inscription quoting the Nymphs not to mark an arrival to happiness, but on the contrary since it was convenient in that particular place were the tombstone would have been exhibited..."

Hmm - but it seems to me that all the other things on the list are desirable outcomes or proud achievements. So if the last line does refer to the afterlife, then surely it too would be a happy state - 'by the time you read this, stranger, I'll have seen the nymphs naked!' Which as visions of the afterlife go, isn't altogether bad...
