English: The “Street of Tombs” (the ancient name is unknown) is a branch of the Sacred Way. Starting from the Tritopatreion it appears to have led to the Long Walls and Piraeus, and was thus a very important artery. In the part of the Street of the Tombs within the archaeological zone are the best preserved and most imposing and luxurious funerary monuments of the 5th and 4th cent. B.C. These steles, reliefs and complete marble monuments belonged in general to family burial enclosures. It was the way well known wealthy Athenian families and foreigners, who had settled in the city perpetuated the memory of their illustrious members. On the left of the road, going towards Piraeus, the visitor come first to the relief of Dexilaos, who was twenty years old when he fell in 394 B.C. in battle against the Spartans. Next are the burial plots of the Herakleians, with the lofty stele of Agathon, Dionysios of Kollytos with a marble bull, Lysimachides with the marble Molossian hound, and others. On the right of the road the most important burial memorial is that of Koroibos of Melite with the stele of Hegeso. Here at a lower level, filled in after the excavation, are the earlier grave memorials, like one probably connected with the famous Alcibiades family of the Peloponnesian War, and also hundreds of tombs from the Geometric period to Roman times.
