The grave stele of Aline constitutes one of the most moving examples of the funerary art of the Cyclades.\u00a0 Made of white marble, it depicts Aline, a young woman, seated on a stool, supporting her head on her bent arm, in a contemplative and emotionally charged posture. The empty space to the left of the figure accentuates the sense of isolation and loneliness conveyed by the image.<\/p>\n

The stele decorated and served as a marker of the young woman\u2019s grave during the 2nd century BC. Beneath the relief representation is inscribed the following inscription arranged in seven verses:<\/p>\n

READ THE INSCRIPTION<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

At the beginning of the 4th verse, the viewer easily identifies the name of Aline, a foreigner who arrived from Askalon \u2014a city in present-day Palestine\u2014 and settled in Delos. She was a woman who died alone, away from her homeland, Phoenicia, while she was pregnant. Her relationship with the man who commissioned the monument and wrote the epigram through which passers-by are invited to stop and weep before the tomb of the poor woman who died away from her family and relatives remains unknown. At the same time, he encourages passers-by to duly acknowledge and thank him for respectfully taking care of her burial in her last resting place in the land of Rheneia.<\/p>\n

The monument expresses in an emotional manner the brutality of a pregnant woman\u2019s death in a foreign land, a woman who fell victim to her own destiny.<\/p>\n
