Abstract
The study of the 3rd century BC stone inscriptions of two funeral foundations made by women, Agasicratis of Calaureia (IG IV, 840) and Epicteta of Thera (IG XII, 330), allows for an exploration of family structures, and for an illustration of the interweaving of private worship of the dead and the city public cults. We examine the financial organization of these foundations and some components of related rituals (calendar, sacrifices, monuments), trying to identify the kinds of belief in afterlife that these inscriptions reveal.
