The Body as Sepulcher of the Soul

Μαρτυρεοντα δε και οι παλαιοι ϑεολογοι τε και μαντιες, ὡς δια τινας τιμωριας, ἁ ψυχα τῳ σωματι συνεζευκται, και καϑαπερ εν σωματι τομτῳ τεϑαπται.

The ancient theologists and priests also testify that the soul is united with the body as if for the sake of punishment;  and so is buried in body as in a sepulchre. – Philolaus
