Redefining Ancient Orphism - A Study in Greek Religion - Radcliffe G. Edmonds Iii - Paperback Bog - Cambridge University Press - 2019 - Engelsk -
Brand: Cambridge University Press
Description
This book examines the fragmentary evidence for Orpheus as the author of rites and poems, redefining Orphism as a label applied polemically to extra-ordinary religious phenomena. Replacing older models of an Orphic religion, this richer and more complex model provides insight into the boundaries of normal and abnormal Greek religion.
