Abstract
In this paper we aim to analize philologically the speeches composing the funeral mourning of Ajax, Phoenix and Agamemnon due to Achilles’ death (Posthomerica III, 435-458, 463-489 and 493-503, respectively), both from the point view of their artistic composition as from their functionality in
Book III.
