Sumario:[EN] We present a study of the passages of the great tragedians, both from the complete works and fragments, in which the human soul is mentioned from an eschatological point of view. We observe the ideas that these poets make their characters say about what the human being experiences after death. From them we try to infer the conceptions about the Afterlife and the human condition after death, which existed in the 5th century BC and were sufficiently widespread for the audience of the tragedies to understand them and, sometimes, even agree with them. Thus, the main aspects on which we focus are the question of the survival of the soul after death (either individually or impersonally), under what conditions it does so (better or worse than this life) and whether this destiny is attainable for all or only for certain souls.
