The finding of the Derveni Papyrus represents an important achievement in decades of archaeological excavations conducted in Ancient Macedonia, which have brought to light several very rich necropoles dated to the 4th-3rd century BC. Considering the diversity of opinions over some hermeneutical aspects, it might be fruitful to search for possible elements of better understanding in the archaeological context and in burial customs attested at Derveni and in other Macedonian tombs. This will make it possible to examine certain religious aspects of the text as well as the possible circumstances which made the scroll a funerary offering placed upon a pyre. The objective is to enlarge the analytical perspective thanks to the hermeneutical consistency of the ritualistic and religious passages of the papyrus.
