A Guided Tour of the First Cemetery of Athens with Archaeologist Michalis Yohalas: Beyond the "Sleeping Female Figure"

The monument of Sophia Afentaki, the figure known as the "Sleeping Female Figure" by Giannoulis Chalepas, is undoubtedly the most famous sculpture in the First Cemetery of Athens. However, it is not the only noteworthy one. Taking an alternative path, away from the busy avenue, we’ll discover a lesser-known yet remarkable side of Cemetery . Along the winding trails, mausoleums of revered figures stand, where mortals converse with immortals, and the pursuit of posthumous fame coexists with profound silence.
