 There was no ancient Greek belief in a general resurrection of the dead.Indeed, they held that once a body had been destroyed, there was no possibility of returning to life as not even the gods could recreate the flesh.Several early Church Fathers, like Pseudo-Justin, Justin Martyr, Tatian, Irenaeus, and Athenagoras of Athens argue about the Christian resurrection beliefs in ways that answer to this traditional Greek scepticism to post-mortal physical continuity.
