In this article, I state that attendant on the acceptance of the idea of an immortal soul is a legitimate question concerning the soul's status before the individual's birth and after its death. Whether the Greeks were the originators of the doctrine of the transmigration of souls or this was an influence from another culture is still open to debate. Keywords: immortal soul; soul status; Greek doctrine; birth and death; transmigration of soul.gerWith permission of the license/copyright holderPhilosophyvaluesethicsMethods of ethicsPhilosophical ethicsArticle
