The study explores this tension systematically and through detailed commentary on 19 texts from the Greek East, some of which are new. For example, the relationship between the stone poems and book epigrammar is examined and the extent to which Homer's epics, with their language, motifs and figures, which were familiar from ancient school lessons, were paradigmatic for the epigrams compared to other literary models. The educational milieu of the stone poets and their patrons comes to light, as do the methods used to compose the poems.
This study of epigraphic sources against the background of the literary tradition contributes to the literary-theoretical localisation of sepulchral stone epigrammar and also opens up important approaches to the history of education and everyday life in antiquity.

"Trotz dieser eher allgemeinen Vorbehalte stellt St.s Studie einen in vielen Punkten überzeugenden und anregenden Beitrag zur Erforschung der Literaturrezeption in der Grabepigrammatik dar, der die Diskussion um die Frage nach der "Literarizität" der Versinschriften weiter vorantreiben wird."

"The book is an important contribution to the study of inscriptional verses in general and those from the Greek East in particular; it also opens up many directions for futures studies and makes one look forward to the promised 400-item rich upgrade to the volumes of SGO." Julia Lougovaya in: Anzeiger für die Altertumswissenschaft, 2020, H. 1, 60-65
