Emily Clifford

Emily is a doctoral student in Classics at Corpus Christi college. She investigates how different artists in Classical Athens approached the challenge of communicating death’s mystery (the ‘Great Unknown’) to their audiences. Central to her thesis is that there is a connection between the difficulty of showing or narrating someone’s death and the difficulty of imagining what death is, and what it is like, from the outside - from the perspective of the living.
